"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"It has a very easy-to-use interface. It has ease of management, and all the modules are there. SKUs are also easily identifiable. Whatever is required in the firewall is already there in it. It's very advanced, and analytics reporting is very good. They also have cloud reporting. You get all the services that are available for your device in the cloud. You just have to subscribe.

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."

"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"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."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
