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."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The solution has good performance."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The solutions' main features are patch management and security."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"Symantec End-user Endpoint Security is a very powerful solution."
"With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection."
"The valuable features are device control, SONOR, and anti-virus."
"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."
"The support needs improvement."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"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"
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"They provide the updates of the client, and those clients need a reboot after the upgrade, which is something we don't like. We don't like to reboot the server after the upgrade because we have live applications. If we do a reboot, it can impact the business as well."
"They're just starting to get into this now, but I think they can do better - they're just starting out with I think is called the SEP Cloud Console. It has more limited functionality. It will be good once we can run SEP from the cloud. That would be good."
"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."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"There is a lack of reporting and alerts."
"It could use more feature parity between what is offered with their on-prem console as well as their hosted console."
