Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The single-pane management is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes administrative control very easy."
"Their threat protection is very good. We are managing a good number of users thanks to the solution and we are pretty satisfied with it."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"No maintenance is required after a successful installation phase."
"The solution can scale."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"The most valuable feature is that I don't feel that it is there. It works in the background and doesn't interfere with my daily work. All the scans are done in the background. This is the biggest advantage of this product. It works because I have never been infected since I have been using this solution. Its interface is also very good."
"It is a stable product."
"It provides confidence by ensuring software programs are virus free and file integrity through an online backup."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It could use more feature parity between what is offered with their on-prem console as well as their hosted console."
"They lack the visibility you get in a heuristical, artificial, AI type of product, like a next-gen antivirus."
"Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function."
"It would be helpful if this product provided patch management functionality."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
"I would like to be able to migrate to the cloud so that the end-users outside the company offices don't need a VPN to connect to the Symantec server to update the policies. They should be able to connect to the admin center directly through the internet to get updated policies. There is some integration issue with the other security appliances or tools. Other hardware, firewall, or Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution vendors are not willing to integrate with Symantec. They only mention products from other vendors such as CrowdStrike and Carbon Black. Symantec is not there. Symantec should work on integration with products from other security vendors."
"The platform itself can be improved as there's no way to track how infections get into the organization."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
