"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"It’s really easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"The service is centralized."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The stability on offer is fine."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"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 be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
