Provides anti-malware protection for endpoints and monitors Wi-Fi networks
Anti-malware is the most valuable feature. We trust Symantec for protection, and we like the idea that Symantec is preventing us from accessing certain websites that are known for containing malware. It gives us general protection of websites through the browser. There isn't much of a need for the antivirus because the number of cases when antivirus would be necessary is generally going down across the market. There aren't that many cloud-based antivirus solutions. We also like that Symantec monitors Wi-Fi networks. If something bad comes and the public Wi-Fi isn't trusted, they recommend the users to disconnect and have an option to force the VPN connection. We're looking at moving to Symantec Complete because it has additional EDR functions and several additional features that we would like to use. The price is also good, so it was an easy choice. They have releases a couple of times a year. The last one was in November or October. They have a lot of research and development. I'm sure that they're looking at the competitors, like Trend Micro or CrowdStrike, and they're trying to figure out what to do with those competitors, how to handle them, and how to improve over what the competitors are able to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"We rely on Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise to safeguard our computer systems from malware. Occasionally, we have encountered issues related to antivirus or malware, but overall, the application has been instrumental in addressing these concerns."
"Stable with good customer service."
"The solution is very cheap."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."
"This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability."
"The overall solution is good, particularly the detection engine. It performs well in identifying malware and conducting regular network scans. The product is easy to use."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"The primary feature of the solution is antivirus scanning with IPS. It blocks viruses and uses a signature database, ensuring robust protection when configured correctly to meet our requirements."
 

Cons

"The support needs improvement."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"The solution needs to be marketed to more consumers so that they will use it."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
"We are currently looking at CrowdStrike as a replacement option because on-prem support is going away under Symantec."
"The product is a bit resource-intensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no issues with the pricing."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"The solution is not expensive."

"The price of the solution is very low. There is an annual subscription to use the solution."
"The cost of the solution is reasonable."
"It's not the cheapest, but it's reasonably priced, around a five on a scale from one to ten. It's suitable for small, medium, and enterprise businesses and offers competitive pricing. There are no additional costs; it's a renewable purchase, either annually or as needed."
"We have Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise, and it's very competitively priced. However, there is a considerable jump in price for upgrading to the EDR, so that's more compatible with enterprise-level organizations."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning it is an average-priced solution."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
