"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"The product is stable."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."

"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"Check Point Harmony is definitely pricier compared to other endpoints."

"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
