"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"The features seem to be alright."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Detections could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"The web filter service could be improved."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The scalability could be better."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"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."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
