"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"The performance is great."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The correlation and the parsing are important features, since it is very important for a SIEM to have a good scalability and performance."
"The initial setup of QRadar is not complex because we have done it before and we are used to the development. It is getting easier all the time."
"What I like about IBM QRadar User Behavior Analytics is that it uses machine learning algorithms to generate risk scoring for the user activity. I also like that it syncs with our Active Directory users, so it really has full coverage for all users in our environment."
"The most valuable features are log monitoring, easy-to-fix issues, and problem-solving."
"An engineer can live-monitor all the flow happening in real-time. This would help us a lot while investigating a case, and it would even help us with preventive actions."
"The QNI feature is the one I am very interested in, and I have also been interested in Watson. From the log analysis and the security perspective, we are able to dive deep into any of the logs and anomalies."
"The threat hunting capabilities in general are great."
"The best feature of IBM QRadar is visualization which shows you when there's a spike in the system, and this makes you realize that there's something wrong with the log."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs improvement."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."

"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"The firewall security could be better."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"QRadar log integration of various applications can be a tough job at times. There may be occasions when you will not find any QRadar guide on adding logs of a particular application. Even if you come across one, adding a log process is not an easy one."
"This solution is on-premise and many customers are moving to the cloud base solution."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"The implementation of the solution's technology needs to be simplified."
"Before we didn't have any security issues but recently a few of the user emails were hacked. We had to actually recreate their emails for them."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The custom rules could be simplified more or it should be possible to use a different language, other than the ones that the solution is already using. They should add other languages into the mix."
"Technical support really needs to be improved. Right now, they aren't where they need to be at all."
