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 very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"The tool is a secure and stable workstation for checking antivirus. The alerting feature helps us see alerts and is easy to control. The main benefit we derive from using Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is stability."
"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are the proactive threat protection and the normal spyware protection which they offer in addition to catching standard threats. It all works well for us even without an EDR."
"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."
"Anti-malware is the most valuable feature. We trust Symantec for protection, and we like the idea that Symantec is preventing us from accessing certain websites that are known for containing malware."
"Stable with good customer service."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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"
"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 SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"When we asked the support team to relicense the original piece, the team ghosted us."
"Symantec should revamp its graphical user interface."
"The solution's browser protection in Chrome needs to be improved, as it's the most troublesome aspect of the tool. I have two devices where the browser protection failed, an issue that has yet to be fixed for two months. When updates occur, the client restarts, and the browser protection for Chrome malfunctions. Broadcom needs to improve their ability to hijack a browser session to filter web traffic because that's important, as well as site blocking. This element is missing in the product; most companies have firewalls with web content filtering to prevent employees from accessing specific sites."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing. This is what the other vendors are doing, such as CrowdStrike. They offer Endpoint Protection(EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response(EDR) in the same product. If Symantec had something similar, it would be good for customers, they would not need to purchase two different products and then integrate them. They can have a single agent doing two tasks."
"The solution could always be more stable and more user-friendly."
"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."
