Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

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

"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"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."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"The solution's most important feature is its reliability. It is not heavy on the workstation."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"Offered at a high price"
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
Information not available
"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."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"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."
