"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The stability is very good."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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."

"The initial setup is very good."
"Compared to other similar solutions, it is faster in connecting."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."

"The product can scale if you need it to."

"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"This product is easy to use."
"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've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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"
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Detections 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."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"The performance level could be better."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
