"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."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"The features I find the most valuable are the protection, the encryption, and the DLP."

"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."

"The extendability is great."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."

"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."

"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The whitelisting feature does not work as expected."
"The reporting function needs to be more user friendly in general."
"The technical support could be a bit better."
"Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function."
"Every time an OS comes out, I have to upgrade the Symantec product. They don't know how to patch it. If they would produce a patch instead of uninstalling or installing over the current version and rebooting I'd be a lot happier with the product."
"It would be perfect if it is capable of detecting or checking ransomware."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The solution can be expensive."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
