We performed a comparison between Malwarebytes and Norton Small Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The solution has good performance."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The support needs improvement."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
