"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"The solution protects us."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the virtual patching it provides."
"I think this is the best solution in the category of endpoint protection, it's really excellent. It's better than McAfee."
"The antivirus is the most valuable aspect of Trend Micro Apex One."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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"
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution is not stable."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Should include additional integration."
"Sophos Intercept X could improve on its setup process. They could make it easier to have a baseline set up for the system, or at least provide more understanding of what the baseline is when you first install it. This could be a matter of lack of training on my part, but it's difficult to receive training on solutions that are not Cisco. Cisco is the only vendor with classes or courses."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"They could improve the integration with Active Directory."
"It could be more customizable."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
"The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself."
"Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"Some of the updates still require a complete reboot of the system."
