"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"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 ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"It performs quite well as a firewall protection provider."
"The interface is friendly."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"Malware protection for Kaspersky should be revolutionized, where they no longer work with signatures, but with more advanced ways of detecting malware, such as Cylance or Traps from Palo Alto."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
