"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"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 filtering process could be improved."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."

"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
