"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."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"It was easy to set up."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The performance is great."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"The firewall security could be better."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
