"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The solution can scale well."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"This solution is very stable."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"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."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
