"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"It is easy to install from the cloud."
"It scans all the endpoints in your cloud and on-premises for vulnerabilities, threats, and malware attacks."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable thing for me is that when I'm using the internet and I reach some site that isn't so secure, or isn't recommended because they don't have a good reputation, ESET will notify me."
"The tool protects everything."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"The pricing is good."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The product offers great reporting tools"
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
"Simplifying the user interface and making it more intuitive can enhance usability; this is more beneficial for those who are new to the industry and lack knowledge about threats."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
