"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"Intercept X's smart prevention it's very good as so are its machine learning capabilities for troubleshooting channels and files."
"Scalability is good."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"The most valuable feature is the supervisory side of it where we can watch the throughputs, and even the loading of the device, to see how much traffic is happening."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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 solution is not user-friendly."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"It is hard to manage."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
