"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"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"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The most valuable thing for me is that when I'm using the internet and I reach some site that isn't so secure, or isn't recommended because they don't have a good reputation, ESET will notify me."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"ESET provides good protection."
"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet. For example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat. Additionally, the malware features are very good."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"It provides good security."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"The signature update is done securely."
"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"
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"They need to improve licensing for VMs. When ESET is uninstalled from a VM, the seat stays on the license management server. We have to manually delete the seat from that server because it doesn't know how to handle it. I contacted exclusive ESET support here in Croatia and they told me there is no solution for this yet."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"We do get false positives."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
"Everything has some kind of room for improvement."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The deployment could be better."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"They're restricted to endpoint protection for now, I'd like to see some additional products."
"The solution could be more secure."
