"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"The potential threat protection feature is the most valuable. In the event that one of my computers is not on the network and gets a virus, ESET Endpoint Security quickly detects the malware, and in most cases, it removes the virus. It also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"The features seem to be alright."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"It is pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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"
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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 patch management and upgrades are not timely."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"The adware module could be improved."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
