"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"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 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."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."

"The web filter service could be improved."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."
