"It is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"Great technical support staff."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."

This is the biggest advantage of this product. It works because I have never been infected since I have been using this solution. Its interface is also very good."
"It is very easy to managing everything in relation to the implementation and processing. The initial setup is very easy."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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 find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"The detection and response can always be improved."
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"We must have complete dissolution with advance care protection but we are finding out that we need more Symantec technical specialists. We have identified a need to hire at least one more technical specialist familiar with Symantec to improve our solutions capabilities."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
"The device can be outdated. More enhancement of network and discovery would help already great features."
"If a machine is infected by ransomware, it's hard to recover the data. We don't have any data on the client, so we're not overly concerned about that. Still, it would be nice to have this feature if there are any future problems."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
