Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The stability is very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"Great technical support staff."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"Offers good antivirus and local firewall."
"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 firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected."
"The solution detects malware very well."
"The valuable features are device control, SONOR, and anti-virus."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Detections could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"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."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
"Nowadays, threats are changing, and they are moving more towards script control and zero-day attacks. So, we would like to have more control similar to an EDR solution. Symantec Endpoint Protection has certainly come a long way as a traditional antivirus, but because the threats are changing, we would like to have more EDR features so that we have a detailed view of the source from where the infection entered the environment and whether it has tried to connect any other endpoint. It should provide such a detailed view for investigation. It should protect against zero-day threats, etc. These are the key enhancements that can make it a complete solution for any enterprise. Currently, we have seen organizations going for two solutions: antivirus and EDR. With both these capabilities, it would be a complete package."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"Overall, the price could be reduced."
"Using the management console is a bit complex. There are many features that we cannot use and we could use some help. We need some assistance to make them work better. They need to add features to make it simpler."
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
