"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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"
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The setup was easy."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"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"
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The firewall security could be better."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"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 outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"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."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"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."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
