"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"The initial setup is easy."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Detections could be improved."
"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 support needs improvement."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
