Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"This is a product at the top of its game. That is the reason we choose to support and sell it."
"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"It provides confidence by ensuring software programs are virus free and file integrity through an online backup."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. 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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"We do get false positives."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"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."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"The free online storage capacity is limited."
