"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"This solution is stable."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"Detections could be improved."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
