"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."

"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
