"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The solution offers very good security features and is comparable to Sophos."
"It is very easy to managing everything in relation to the implementation and processing. The initial setup is very easy."
"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."
"The firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected."

"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to use."
"Its ease of use in deploying it and regular updates are most valuable."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"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"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"They need to just modernize the infrastructure with something that is next-generation. We have recently moved to SentinelOne. It had been doing good for us for a while, but we needed something modern with new technology."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"When, Microsoft releases a new OS version twice a year, you never know if the current version of Symantec Endpoint Protection will support it. You can have a lag between when Microsoft releases a new client - and then the current version doesn't work correctly - and it could be some months between updates from Symantec."
"It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"They need to develop a multi-language interface."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. It is not a straightforward tool to use. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better. It is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
"Symantec isn't good in terms of updating customers about updates. You'd normally have to search it out. Sometimes, the update process for the administration and management console can be a bit intimidating, and it can be quite inconvenient to get the updates. That's because when you have to do the update, you have to update the management console, and then you need to update the clients. Their application that's installed on desktops and servers needs to go hand in hand with the management console. Sometimes, it's a bit unwieldy to see that process through."
"Symantec has not properly promoted Symantec Endpoint Security in the market. In my opinion, the product should be properly promoted."
