"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"It has a very easy-to-use interface. It has ease of management, and all the modules are there. SKUs are also easily identifiable. Whatever is required in the firewall is already there in it. It's very advanced, and analytics reporting is very good. They also have cloud reporting. You get all the services that are available for your device in the cloud. You just have to subscribe. It's very easy. There's a lot of demand for this solution because it's an all-in-one solution. The throughput is very high."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"It is a scalable product."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"The performance is good."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
