"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."

"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."

"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Detections could be improved."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"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."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Notifications are lacking."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
