"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature in ESET Endpoint Security is the game mode to restrict notifications."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The stability is good."
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"I like everything about ESET Endpoint Security, and as an installer, it's very easy to install the solution, but the most important feature is that it helps defend against any virus. When the virus comes, ESET Endpoint Security stops it."
"The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."
"Every single feature has been invaluable."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds."
"Using ThreatLocker is effortless because I can access it from an app on my phone, so I can help clients after hours. My client had an issue while I was at dinner, and I didn't have a tech on the problem, but I could deal with it from my phone. I can see what the client is doing and approve or deny it. It helps me deliver better service to my clients when they need it."
"The great thing is that if you get a malicious email and you try to run something, ThreatLocker is not going to let it do anything. It is not going to let anything infect your network."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow."
"The reporting could be improved."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software."
"More visibility in the built-ins would be nice."
"We identified several areas that we would like to see improved."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
