"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"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"
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The firewall security could be better."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"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 reporting is much too simple."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"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."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
