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 is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The stability is very good."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The application and device control functionality is good. We are able to see which applications are installed using the product management dashboard."
"Symantec End-user Endpoint Security is a very powerful solution."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"The fact that it has centralized management is the most valuable feature."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"The anti-virus and firewall policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like the malware threat control policy and USB blocker. In Symantec Manager, we use multiple available features, so we created firewall policies to prevent any malware attack from the network or device controls."
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"Stable with good customer service."
"It doesn't require an on-premises server to manage it. It allows us to monitor the machine to check if it is up-to-date and not lagging."
"The solution works well overall."
"The best feature is the firewall that lets us allow or block ports. That's a great tool because we can limit specific types of traffic on user devices and apply granular security controls to IPs and ports."
"Symantec is a little bit better at remediating or preventing things in general."
"The solution has integrated some AI tools for the automation of tasks."
"The overall solution is good, particularly the detection engine. It performs well in identifying malware and conducting regular network scans. The product is easy to use."
"Endpoint protection solution with machine learning, device control, and application control features. It is scalable and stable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The support needs improvement."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Detections could be improved."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"It could use more feature parity between what is offered with their on-prem console as well as their hosted console."
"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."
"I would like to be able to migrate to the cloud so that the end-users outside the company offices don't need a VPN to connect to the Symantec server to update the policies. They should be able to connect to the admin center directly through the internet to get updated policies. There is some integration issue with the other security appliances or tools. Other hardware, firewall, or Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution vendors are not willing to integrate with Symantec. They only mention products from other vendors such as CrowdStrike and Carbon Black. Symantec is not there. Symantec should work on integration with products from other security vendors."
"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to be a stable product, but now that aspect needs improvement. They also used to provide good technical support, but now not so much, so that needs improvement."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"The solution's management dashboard could be improved. An easier-to-use threat-hunting dashboard would make life easier for security analysts. Its support needs to improve for the African region."
