"The setup is pretty simple."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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"
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"This solution is very stable."
"The Managed Detection and Response service provided by Intercept X Endpoint is highly valuable. With a team of 600-700 individuals monitoring systems, they swiftly respond to attacks, either informing us to isolate or directly removing threats. This full MDR service is especially recommended for sectors like finance, where data security is critical. The deep learning technology within Intercept X Endpoint enhances our security posture by analyzing behaviors and algorithms to differentiate between legitimate users and threats, effectively preventing attacks on our network infrastructure."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"The solution is easy to install."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The support needs improvement."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"The documentation could be improved."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"Sophos Intercept X could improve on its setup process. They could make it easier to have a baseline set up for the system, or at least provide more understanding of what the baseline is when you first install it. This could be a matter of lack of training on my part, but it's difficult to receive training on solutions that are not Cisco. Cisco is the only vendor with classes or courses."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"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."
