"The setup is pretty simple."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"We love the reports and monitoring they provide."
"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."
"Compared to its competitors, Check Point Harmony Endpoint has advantages in areas like EDR and behavioral detection."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"The stability is good."
"Ransomware protection is embedded in the solution."
"Technical support has been very good. They're quick to respond to any problems."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"It can scale as well."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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 support needs improvement."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
"The management of the solution isn't as clear as it could be. They could adjust that to make it a better product."
"They could be more aggressive with malware."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
