"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The DDAN and the sand boxing features are very good and accurate."
"It's easier to integrate Apex One than Kaspersky. It also performs well, and the customer feedback has been positive."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
"he setup is simple."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"I think this is the best solution in the category of endpoint protection, it's really excellent. It's better than McAfee."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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"
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"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."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by providing signatureless detection, reducing the agent's needed system resources to increase performance, and enhance further the vulnerability assessment feature. These changes would be very helpful in the future."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"No product can ever be rated a ten out of ten. They are always improving on one aspect or another."
"Occasionally, the system may be a bit slow."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself."
"Some of the updates still require a complete reboot of the system."
"It could be more customizable."
