"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"The solution is reliable."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution is not stable."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
