The product also has sandboxing features."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
