We performed a comparison between SentinelOne Singularity Complete and Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."
"It delivers the type of security which we were hoping for, since we have a lot of different endpoint users utilizing different types of software. We have people who only use Office software, like email, Word, and PDFs. Then, we have people who use some applications that other people wrote. We also write applications in-house using people who develop software. Therefore, we have some machines using very high-end developer software for mechanical development, electronic development, and software development. Those users are used to managing their PC on their own. The centralize platform allows us to differentiate between those three groups of people. We have overall control and can oversee the security levels at all the endpoints. They have not yet been blocked in any way when performing the functions"
"We are able to write some custom rules on SentinelOne."
"SentinelOne Singularity has hundreds of features. The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use and threat control."
"The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."
"The solution offers very rich details surrounding threats or attacks."
"It identifies what applications are vulnerable. If I go to the applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Reader, I can see our current list of vulnerabilities: How many are vulnerable and how many need to be updated with patching. One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of finding specific vulnerabilities."
"The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is its ability to conduct large scans on the endpoints without affecting the network."
"A great feature of this solution is that it is very well-integrated with antivirus software. Other ADR solutions are implemented as single technologies and are not integrated with the provider, but Symantec offers AV plus ADR."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"It is mostly used for malware detection and antivirus purposes."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"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 solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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"
"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 UI appears to be flat, and I wish to have the ability to customize it with features and buttons that are tailored to our needs."
"It is an expensive product."
"I would like to have firewall functionality within SentinelOne Singularity Complete."
"There is an area of improvement is agent health monitoring, which would give us the ability to cap and manage resources used by the SentinelOne agent. We had issues with this in our environment. We reached out to SentinelOne about it, and they were very prompt in adding it into their roadmap."
"The solution can improve by adding more granular firewall capabilities."
"The SentinelOne portal is not user-friendly, which is one of its drawbacks."
"There is not much flexibility in terms of policy fine-tuning. We can turn it off or turn it on, but, there's nothing much else to do. Everything is predefined. It's good in a way, but you don't get much flexibility if you want to do something particular."
"Everything is now offered as a service, so the console and the licensing model can be improved to make things easier, especially when updating new versions of the software."
"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
