"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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 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"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The stability is very good."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"It is stable."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"The performance is great."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"It's a very stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"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."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"It takes too long to install."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
