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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The convenience has been great."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"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."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"The solution detects malware very well."
"One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point."
"We use the Symantec Global Intelligence Network (GIN), and it's an excellent feature as Symantec is a leader in security solutions. The product has all the security features we require as an organization, including intelligent features such as notification alerts and predicting future attacks. The threat intelligence and detection are excellent, and the solution provides great visuals and logs so that we can analyze any attacks on our servers. GIN is a powerful tool in terms of detection capability across endpoints, email, and web traffic, as it can scan them with its advanced threat intelligence. The product can detect threats, report them to us, and quarantine them."
"There is no other endpoint solution that will help you in preventing lateral-movement attacks on Active Directory. And Active Directory is one of the more critical assets within an organization."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to use."
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"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 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"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"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."
"They need to develop a multi-language interface."
"Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that."
"I think the CPU dependence should be enhanced."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
