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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"The application and device control functionality is good. We are able to see which applications are installed using the product management dashboard."
"The IPS function (with no firewall needed to be installed in the SEP client) is quite good."
"Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes."
"I think the key thing for me, is interoperability, in that you can deploy it to Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's been a really important feature in the last two years. Now there's one management console to cover all three OSs."
"The application and device control are valuable features, and the live update is another one. We have a schedule to check every four hours for the live update."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Detections could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"My personal opinion is that Symantec has too many WS.Reputation.1 detections, which could cause important computers to malfunction."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices."
"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."
"It should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"I would like to see fileless attack protection."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
