"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The solution has very useful MDM features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"The pricing is good."
"We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing."
"The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
