We performed a comparison between Seqrite Endpoint Security and Symantec Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is scalable."
"It just works. We have a console, and I can see it at a glance. I don't have any problems with it at all."
"One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates."
"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"I think the key thing for me, is interoperability, in that you can deploy it to Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's been a really important feature in the last two years. Now there's one management console to cover all three OSs."
"We never expect downtime. There is also great ease of use for my admins."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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"
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"User management could be improved."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The interface is slow."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."
"Any external device which is inserted into a computer should be subject to an auto-scan policy, to automatically scan it before accepting the device... They need to make it more user-friendly, so that when anyone puts in a USB stick it will be scanned, popping up any problems before it is used."
"It's not cheap."
"Users mostly complain that the solution slows down the system whenever something is scanned."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
