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."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The stability is very good."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product has been quite stable."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"Its ease of use in deploying it and regular updates are most valuable."
"The scheduled scans and the active protection were the most valuable because it allowed me to have the systems protected in real-time and also be able to schedule scans so that as new definitions would update, machines could be scanned to make sure that everything was in tip-top shape and there was nothing lurking in the background."
"The centralized console is great for us. It gives us one centralized console to manage all of the endpoints."
"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."
"Managing SEP is very easy, and also troubleshooting part is easily managed."
"The IPS function (with no firewall needed to be installed in the SEP client) is quite good."
"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
"Symantec is a little bit better at remediating or preventing things in general."
"The solution works well overall."
"The best feature is the firewall that lets us allow or block ports. That's a great tool because we can limit specific types of traffic on user devices and apply granular security controls to IPs and ports."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"The primary feature of the solution is antivirus scanning with IPS. It blocks viruses and uses a signature database, ensuring robust protection when configured correctly to meet our requirements."
"This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability."
"Managing the dashboard is straightforward and efficient. I appreciate the convenience of accessing all alerts in one place and find configuring policies to be a simple process. Creating and deploying policies to agents is easily accomplished, and the communication between agents and servers is effectively implemented. These aspects are what I find favorable about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution could improve by adding encryption. If it had encryption along with antivirus it would be better."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
"The artificial intelligence of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security could be better."
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"If there is a suspicious file, it is put into a sandbox where Symantec does an analysis. After the analysis, Symantec marks the file as a risk, but it doesn't blacklist or block the file. If a file is already known to be harmful, I would like them to automatically block or blacklist it to reduce the damage."
"It can maybe send notifications when there is an update and everything is successful."
"Symantec has not properly promoted Symantec Endpoint Security in the market. In my opinion, the product should be properly promoted."
"My personal opinion is that Symantec has too many WS.Reputation.1 detections, which could cause important computers to malfunction."
"The solution needs to be marketed to more consumers so that they will use it."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise needs to improve its manageability. It is not easy to manage."
"An area for improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise would be its firewall features, in particular, this solution needs to provide more firewall controls."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution."
"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
"When we asked the support team to relicense the original piece, the team ghosted us."
"The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."
