"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."

"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."

"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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 need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
