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."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The solution has good performance."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The solution can scale."
"No maintenance is required after a successful installation phase."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution."
"It's good at detecting signature-based stuff and stopping that."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"Detections could be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The virus definitions could be updated more frequently."
"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."
"About four years back, Symantec's signature was very heavy and their signature patch was around 200MB or 300MB files."
"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."
"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."
"The overall quality of the product needs to be improved because with the last session we had several issues with new versions. Also, the solution needs better protections."
"It can be improved in terms of features and integration. It should have more advanced features and more integration. Currently, it is just talking to their own solutions. They could add more artificial intelligence, more XDR, and more integration with other vendors so that we can do sharing of information with other vendors."
"The monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
