"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Impressive detection capabilities"

"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"The initial setup is very good."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Detections could be improved."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."

"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
