"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
