Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)."The stability is very good."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The most valuable features are the rollback feature, it's important for us. The AI models and are good."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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'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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"We have a lot of false positives we see in the dashboard. I think this is the only problem we are facing."
