"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"The solution is the cheapest in the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like that the tool is a bit simple to use. In terms of handling phishing and rate mitigation, it is quite good. The product is stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The solution is scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest. The initial setup is straightforward. I have seen a return on investment."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
"I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function."
"The number of accessories included is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."
"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."
"Technical support could always be improved."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."
"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability."
"The performance could always be improved."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The EDR feature is difficult to use and could be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"The menus can be more user-friendly or easier. For example, if we want to enable access to the USB ports, it should be more user-friendly. It is not easy. We need to navigate through several menus to be able to give access."
"I think that this product needs to improve the data loss prevention port."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
