"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"The signature update is done securely."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"Kaspersky Enterprise solution's combined protections have helped to block a lot of malware which would have caused a lot of interruptions in our operations."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"This solution is stable."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The support needs improvement."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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"
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"The firewall security could be better."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The performance level could be better."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"This solution would be improved if it were more compatible with Windows Server. There is not a client for Windows Server, like for Windows Workstation, so there are a lot of things you cannot control from the local system, or from the desktop directly. You have to control everything from the policy server, not from the client's side. The interface is kind of light, and it's not good—it could be more user-friendly."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
