"One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspects are the reporting analytics and integration with Sentinel. Defender does an excellent job of correlating the different entities that comprise threat analysis, analytics data, and log analytics. It helps to piece together investigations into any exploit or malicious activity within a specific tenant. AI and analytics tools are probably the most valuable components."
"The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been good."

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."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The support needs improvement."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The management console is something that can be improved."

Before we actually flip the switch, we should be able to see the impact of security changes on the business or business applications. It would prevent breaking any business applications."
"The dashboard customization could be improved."
"It would be nice to have a paid upgrade that would provide additional screening of the day-to-day activities."
"The file scanning has room for improvement. Many people use macros within their files, so there should be a mechanism that helps us to scan them for malicious payloads."
"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"The product development team makes frequent changes that affect the stability of the solution."
"Its detection is not as quick. There should also be more frequent updates."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."

"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
