"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."

"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable feature in ESET Endpoint Security is the game mode to restrict notifications."

"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."

"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."

"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
