"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."

"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
