You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"This is stable and scalable."

"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"The stability is pretty good."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."

"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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.
