Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
