"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The stability is very good."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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 a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"The interface could be improved."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
