"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"The scalability is perfect."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"We really like the ability to have different policies to keep servers and endpoints unique to their own policy."
"The solution offers good community support."
"The main benefit is the threat intelligence network of Trend Micro."
"From a technology point of view, it is very simple to install, it's not heavy on the endpoint in terms of the amount of processing cycles. It is simple to deploy and the interfaces are easy. You don't need to be a scientist to operate it."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
"Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."
"They need to integrate the DLP with the EDR."
"All the features in Trend Micro Apex One are not compatible or functional for all the different operating systems. For example, they have fewer features in other operating systems compared to what they have for Microsoft Windows. It would be nice if they could have one solution which all functions work on all kinds of operating systems. It would be much easier for those who have different operating systems in their environment to have one solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."
