"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The stability is very good."

"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"The setup is quite easy."
"The solution is scalable."

"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."

"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
