Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business)."The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"The features seem to be alright."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"The most valuable feature in ESET Endpoint Security is the game mode to restrict notifications."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."
"It provides confidence by ensuring software programs are virus free and file integrity through an online backup."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"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."
"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"When users renew licenses, they should offer a discount."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
