"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The stability is very good."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
