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."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"
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"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."
"Great technical support staff."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"The product has been quite stable."
"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."
"Symantec's detection capabilities are strong. It involves run protection and behavioral analysis."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"The antivirus and antimalware features are good."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"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."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Overall, the price could be reduced."
"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."
"SONAR could be improved. The false/positive rate is a little high."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"In a few cases, when we enable the IPS/IDS feature, there are performance-related issues on the end devices. If we run quite a few features of Symantec, especially the IPS/IDF, it consumes a lot of processing and memory capacity."
"It can be improved in terms of features and integration. It should have more advanced features and more integration. Currently, it is just talking to their own solutions. They could add more artificial intelligence, more XDR, and more integration with other vendors so that we can do sharing of information with other vendors."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"More control features can be added, and its performance can also be better. Sometimes, the performance is not good when we access the cloud console. Moving to each tab is slow. The dashboard can be a little bit user-friendly. For some users, it is a bit difficult. If someone is a little bit familiar with it, then it is fine. Otherwise, it is hard to find policies in Symantec."
