Affordable and quick to deploy but the response of support was slow during procurement
User management could be improved. For example, if you have to create different types of user groups based on what kind of access they would need, that should be easier. We keep standard rules for certain profiles. The user management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management. Once the client is installed, then we can control it. However, the initial setup should be managed completely in mobile mode. For example, if a laptop is delivered directly from the vendor to an employee and we can trigger the command from a central place to install the client and run the standard installations as well, that would make things easier. I'm a bit concerned about the responsiveness of support.

Ensures robust protection when configured correctly to meet our requirements
The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality. There are concerns regarding the tool's usability, particularly its dashboard and managing user data such as cache memory. For instance, it encounters difficulties when users switch between different Wi-Fi networks, leading to disruptions in connectivity. These issues need to be addressed to ensure better scalability and user experience. There are performance issues during full or manual scans, which negatively impact system performance. It should be integrated with AI and machine learning because many threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, necessitating advanced detection capabilities. Additionally, it should include features for IoT security to safeguard IoT devices. This would enable us to implement security measures tailored to IoT hosts. A setup with agent-based scanning specifically designed for IoT devices would be advantageous for optimal protection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are the proactive threat protection and the normal spyware protection which they offer in addition to catching standard threats. It all works well for us even without an EDR."
"Symantec is a little bit better at remediating or preventing things in general."
"Endpoint protection solution with machine learning, device control, and application control features. It is scalable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."
"The tool is a secure and stable workstation for checking antivirus. The alerting feature helps us see alerts and is easy to control. The main benefit we derive from using Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is stability."
"Managing the dashboard is straightforward and efficient. I appreciate the convenience of accessing all alerts in one place and find configuring policies to be a simple process. Creating and deploying policies to agents is easily accomplished, and the communication between agents and servers is effectively implemented. These aspects are what I find favorable about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise’s interface is good to use."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Detections could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
"In the future, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should improve the firewall and documentation."
"The solution's browser protection in Chrome needs to be improved, as it's the most troublesome aspect of the tool. I have two devices where the browser protection failed, an issue that has yet to be fixed for two months. When updates occur, the client restarts, and the browser protection for Chrome malfunctions. Broadcom needs to improve their ability to hijack a browser session to filter web traffic because that's important, as well as site blocking. This element is missing in the product; most companies have firewalls with web content filtering to prevent employees from accessing specific sites."
"The scanning area of the product should be made a little faster as it is the only area of concern in the tool where improvements are required."
"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise needs to improve its manageability. It is not easy to manage."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
