"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 ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The general anti-virus on offer is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The solution can scale."
"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The product can be a bit heavy."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"No product can ever be rated a ten out of ten. They are always improving on one aspect or another."
"The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself."
