"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The stability is very good."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The solution is stable."
"The stability is great."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The support needs improvement."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"There are still functionalities that I have not been able to fully test and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"They could be more aggressive with malware."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
