"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The stability is very good."

"It is a very scalable solution."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

"The security features are very valuable."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."

"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful.

"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"They could improve the UI."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
