"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."

"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Very stable solution."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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 amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"

"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs improvement."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
