"The setup is pretty simple."

"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"Installation was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"The interface is friendly."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
