"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Detections could be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"It is hard to manage."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The tool is expensive."
