"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

"The solution is not user-friendly."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
