"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"It was easy to set up."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks."
"The product is stable."
"The most important characteristic of our requirements was the implementation of disk encryption."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"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."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"There should be some way of managing this solution outside the organization's network, possibly with some type of remote access. For example, if I'm the admin of Check Point who manages the entire network, I would like to have access on my home device or maybe a mobile app to get reports, etc."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
