"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."

"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"Before we used this solution, our mail was blacklisted. Now we are white listed by all organizations, including Google. Also the security of our institution has really improved."

"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."

"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'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The support needs improvement."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"The only thing that our customers want, is lower prices."
"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
