You can also simulate phishing attacks."

"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."

"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."

"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."

"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"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."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
