"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The stability is very good."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product is user-friendly."

"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"It is stable."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are reporting and where we have the ability to report back and provide information when an item is quarantined or not quarantined."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"Its reporting and dashboard are valuable. Its dashboard is easy to use."
"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the virtual patching it provides."
"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 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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"We are not able to merge the sub-estates. If we create multiple sub-states and there may be instances where a user is in a different sub-state, it may not be possible for us to relocate that user from one sub-state to another through the console. We have to merge them manually which is not ideal."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"The main thing they need to improve is their reporting functionality and the forensics for their on-premise consult. They do not have very good reporting features or forensic functionality in the on-premise version. They need to improve that."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
"The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard so that all the products can be managed from a single console."
"Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items."
"I don't give it a perfect 10 because of the Active Directory integration. It would make things easier if the Active Directory were integrated more seamlessly."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
