"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."

"The features I have found most valuable are the ransomware and malware protection. The solution detects malware live and whenever it detects suspicious activity, it quarantines it."

"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."

"There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need."
"Threat intelligence has the potential for improvement, particularly by integrating more sources."
"The solution can be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard so that all the products can be managed from a single console."
"I would like to have DLP features implemented into Vision One Security."
"We had a few occasions where we had to turn off our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers."
"We're not sure if we're going to continue with those products or their products or we're going to switch to something else. That's why we stopped the immigration process. If we were going to replace another product, it's not really efficient to waste time on it moving patients and other clients."
"The cost could be improved."
"The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced."
"I think that this product needs to improve the data loss prevention port."
