Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"The features seem to be alright."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"It provides confidence by ensuring software programs are virus free and file integrity through an online backup."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not stable."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"The management of the solution isn't as clear as it could be. They could adjust that to make it a better product."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
