"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."

"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."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"The product does not slow down the machine."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"The stability is great."

"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"Sometimes, ESET sends alerts within my own network that cause confusion. That is, it might warn about contamination, or that the VM has crashed, but it doesn't go further than that. It just shows me the alert and sometimes I am not sure what to do about it."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
