Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size.

"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."

"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"It's easy to use."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"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."
