"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."

"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features."

"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"The signature update is done securely."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"The reports aren't so good. To make it a perfect ten they should improve the reports and web interface."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
