"This is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"It's very stable."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The support needs improvement."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"Its stability can be improved. It is not as reliable as I would like it to be. There are times when things don't work quite right. Our biggest pain point is not related to Fortinet FortiClient and the whole scheme of things. It is related to one of the additional services called FortiGuard. They are the arm that does all of the updates to definitions, keeps all the signatures updated, and responds to new threats and whatnot. What we have found is that they react quickly, but sometimes their solutions aren't compatible with all of the components of the Fortinet security suite, specifically around FortiSandbox."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
