"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"Compared to other similar solutions, it is faster in connecting."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."

"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration."
"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 should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."
"The performance is not very good."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
"There should be some AI involved. We already have machine learning involved in recent releases but machine learning should be more enhanced in the upcoming versions."
"The reports aren't so good. To make it a perfect ten they should improve the reports and web interface."
