"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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 most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"The remote support is good."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"The initial setup of Trellix Endpoint Security was straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"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."
"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 SIEM could be improved."
"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"
"The solution is not stable."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
