"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."

"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"Symantec has cloud-based endpoint protection, so whether a user is off the network or on the network, the endpoint will be protected by the cloud."
"I like the additional features that come with it. The firewall feature and the encryption feature that they throw in are good as well. Another thing that I like about Symantec is that it runs on different platforms, not just on Windows."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"Their threat protection is very good. We are managing a good number of users thanks to the solution and we are pretty satisfied with it."
"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."

"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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 solution is not stable."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"My personal opinion is that Symantec has too many WS.Reputation.1 detections, which could cause important computers to malfunction."
"If the agent can be minimized so that it can work with in-memory concepts, that would be ideal. As of now, it is file-based, signature-based."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The reporting function needs to be more user friendly in general."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
