"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."

"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"I would like to see more automation."

"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"Sophos does not currently inform users of potential compatability issues with Windows updates."

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."
