"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."
"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"When they started they found it very easy; not easy to implement but easy to use. We started with the headquarters here and later we also implemented it for all the subsidiaries in the region, in other countries. They have a centralized solution, so they can help other countries in management."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution."
"It's a good proxy to control the user's access to the website."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"What I like most about Symantec is the intrusion detection module. If you are scanning the environment, it will flag a possible intruder and tell you the IP and where the attack is coming from. Traditional antivirus solutions will never flag that. If you have a traditional SIEM, you might be able to pick that up. Symantec is a holistic endpoint security solution, so when you scan an endpoint, Symantec will let you know that something is happening to it."
"The application and device control functionality is good. We are able to see which applications are installed using the product management dashboard."
"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."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"We were having a problem in Version 14, where the client machines used to go into the health state and once it restarted, and never came back again."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"The detection and response can always be improved."
"It's not cheap."
"It should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"The technical support could be a bit better."
