The product also has sandboxing features."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"It’s easy to use."
"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."
"The initial setup is very good."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Detections could be improved."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The support needs improvement."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"I would like to see an improvement in the web filter, because I think it can be more user-friendly."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The interface is complex."
