"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."

"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"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."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."

"The tool protects everything."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"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."
"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 can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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 solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."

"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
