"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"The stability is pretty good."
"It's very stable."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"One of the advantages for me is that it is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Some of the valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are DLP, encryption, and patch management."

"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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.

"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."

"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."

"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."
"We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."
"The security features need improvement."
