"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the management."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The product does not slow down the machine."
"I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"The most valuable thing for me is that when I'm using the internet and I reach some site that isn't so secure, or isn't recommended because they don't have a good reputation, ESET will notify me."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"We do get false positives."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
