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."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution."
"Some of the features that were important were a built-in firewall and device control."
"I have found the solution to be very scalable, we have 700 employees using the solution in our organization."
"It's a good proxy to control the user's access to the website."
"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"The product has valuable features for insights."
"The solution is very stable."
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"What I like most about McAfee MVISION Endpoint is that it's very user-friendly. You do need some knowledge on how to navigate the portal, but as soon as you've gained that knowledge, navigation will no longer be an issue. I have no complaints about McAfee MVISION Endpoint. For me, the product is perfect the way it is. It's great right now, and it's doing good as it is."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The malware and ransomware protections could be improved, which was ultimately the reason why I stopped using the solution."
"Is not a full anti-ransomware solution."
"The solution could improve by adding encryption. If it had encryption along with antivirus it would be better."
"It needs to die. In my opinion, Symantec was a really great security company, 10, 15 years ago. They went out, they bought all the great tools and then they never did anything with them. So they've just fallen behind and there's nothing that's going to work now to bring them back up the date that's going to regain user confidence."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
"The spam filter is something that you can't control, and you can't set the filter to intercept different types of emails."
"The solution can be expensive."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"I would like to see more automation."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
