"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 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"
"The setup is pretty simple."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"The features seem to be alright."
"The solution has very useful MDM features."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"It has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
"The signature update is done securely."
"It's easy to use."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"Data loss prevention (DLP) in email security."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
