Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"Managing SEP is very easy, and also troubleshooting part is easily managed."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"Great security and very user friendly."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"SEP, the entire suite of components, provides good endpoint protection."
"Symantec is very user-friendly, the interface and functions are very simple for everyone to understand. Additionally, it's a very robust system."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"They need to just modernize the infrastructure with something that is next-generation. We have recently moved to SentinelOne. It had been doing good for us for a while, but we needed something modern with new technology."
"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"The virus definitions could be updated more frequently."
"They lack the visibility you get in a heuristical, artificial, AI type of product, like a next-gen antivirus."
"Difficult to set up on older systems."
"We are not satisfied with this solution. It needs a lot of improvements. It doesn't detect the most recent malware and unknown threats. With most of the users working from home these days, there is also a need for some extra security layer. That's why we are thinking of going for a better solution that will take care of all of our endpoints and work from home situation. Symantec also has to work on EDI technology. Vendors like Palo Alto and Cisco are coming with their own intelligence and cloud infrastructure in which unknown threats are regularly watched and monitored, and they are reported to the admin."
"The agent shouldn't use up so many resources at the endpoint when scanning and protecting."
"The support from Symantec has been poor in my experience. They did not have the knowledge to help us with the issues we were facing."
"There are limitations because everyone these days has hybrid working; however, the endpoint does not work for us unless we are connected to a VPN, which is a major limitation."
