"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"The technical support is good."

"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."

"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
