The rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great
We use Fortinet firewalls for perimeter security at six to seven of our locations It provides extreme perimeter security, especially for VPN and application profiles, and seamless security monitoring through FortiAnalyzer. As a firewall the solution is great, we never had any issues. We saw time…

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…

Offers the ability to craft very specific policies to secure your environment and customize your security functions
Overall, the product is amazing. The best part is the flexibility of the policies. You can craft very specific policies to secure your environment. The IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) features are also strong, although I haven't explored them fully. Policies are the standout feature – you can exclude, block, quarantine, delete files... there are numerous options to customize your security with Symantec Endpoint Security. The integrated firewall feature is impactful. It provides the basics of firewall security, but it won't cover all the advanced scenarios that a dedicated firewall would. It provides a basic bunch of security, but if you need comprehensive firewall protection, you'd likely want a specialized firewall solution. On a scale of one to ten, I'd rate the endpoint firewall features as a seven out of ten – good for basic security. It is very easy to use. The user interface is friendly. If you spend some time with the SEPM (Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager), you can learn it quickly. I was able to learn it within a month or a month and a half; It's all about research and development – the more you work with it, the easier it gets.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"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."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"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."
"Endpoint protection solution with machine learning, device control, and application control features. It is scalable and stable."
"It doesn't require an on-premises server to manage it. It allows us to monitor the machine to check if it is up-to-date and not lagging."
"The solution is very cheap."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."
 

Cons

"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"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 solution is not stable."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"Unlike traditional tools, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise does not provide trigger alerts based on user behavior-based traffic."
"An area for improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise would be its firewall features, in particular, this solution needs to provide more firewall controls."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to be a stable product, but now that aspect needs improvement. They also used to provide good technical support, but now not so much, so that needs improvement."
"I don't see any specific areas for improvement. They are knowledgeable about advanced solutions, so no suggestions from my end. Maybe there are minor enhancements, like improving UI features or dashboards, but overall, the product is well-designed. As for additional features, I hope they incorporate Kipops, specifically AI functionality, in the next release of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"The product must develop some virus definition features."
"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"The pricing is good."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."

"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."
"I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. For most organizations, the cost is between 70 and 100 dollars per user. The exact price depends on the selected features and the number of users. It's considered a premium cost for an enterprise Endpoint security solution."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"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."
"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."
