"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The feature I find most useful is the console for reporting."
"We never expect downtime. There is also great ease of use for my admins."
"The scheduled scans and the active protection were the most valuable because it allowed me to have the systems protected in real-time and also be able to schedule scans so that as new definitions would update, machines could be scanned to make sure that everything was in tip-top shape and there was nothing lurking in the background."
"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"I think the key thing for me, is interoperability, in that you can deploy it to Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's been a really important feature in the last two years. Now there's one management console to cover all three OSs."
"Some of the most valuable features were antivirus, malware, and spyware. They were really good."
"This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection."
"Stability-wise, it is very good and we have had no trouble."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"Low performance requirements."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Auto-Remediation"
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Detections could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"Symantec needs to develop some reporting features and notifications. For instance, if the server is not on or it's shut down. There should also be time-based USB control."
"SONAR could be improved. The false/positive rate is a little high."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
"It would be nice to see more antivirus features for USB control."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
