"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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 like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"Low performance requirements."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
