Offers behavior analysis, improved our endpoint security posture but a lot of false positives where things are incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow
I would like to improve the integration process because a big selling point was the ease of integration within the Fortinet ecosystem. I would expect more built-in collaboration to allow for easier threat mitigation across Fortinet systems. The strength of FortiEDR lies in its overall ability to protect us from new threats. We have encountered issues with it as well. We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team. I would like to see improved heuristics so the system better understands what's legitimate and doesn't keep blocking it after minor updates.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners. I have been using Seqrite Endpoint Security Cloud for one and a half years. I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten. 100…

A number of support and stability issues, though SONAR provides good real-time threat protection
We use Symantec Endpoint Security Complete as an enterprise antivirus solution.  I don't think the solution has improved our organization.  The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection.  It is important that Symantec Adaptive Protection reduces the attack…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."
"The feature I like the most is the Adaptive Protection... And it does not negatively affect users' activities because we can adapt it and allow binaries that are executed regularly, while forbidding those that are not executed within the company."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"One feature I found most valuable in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is the firewall feature on the endpoint. The firewall feature helps users handle virus outbreaks."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
 

Cons

"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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"
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."
"Installation and packaging for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should be improved. Its console is also confusing, so that's another area for improvement."
"An area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be developed more because competitors have started providing EDR and XDR functionalities, but in the product, those are still missing. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be lightweight. Currently, the product is very heavy when compared to other vendors. It takes up too much space on the hard drive and the memory."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"Offered at a high price"
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."

"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
