"The setup is pretty simple."
"Defender is stable. The performance is good."

"It is a very advanced system based on AI. It has a very large database of places or sites on the internet where you should not go. It is continuously online."

"Because it has been integrated with the OS, we get the entire software inventories, and we even get access to the registries. Those are the primary features."

"We like that it has a free version available."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and the updates are very simple."
"The technical support is excellent."

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"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."

"Localization is always a challenge, especially with new products you typically want. Solutions are designed to be deployed where the most licenses are being consumed, such as in the United States. They focus on US products, devices, and networks. Specialized deployments for other countries would allow for a smoother experience in transition."
"Sometimes, there are different skews. In a basic skew, they should have basic log analysis without the need to integrate with any third-party or SIEM solutions, like Sentinel. This would make it so much easier for users who don't have log collection or log analysis."
"Other vendors provide a lot of customization when it comes to integration, which every big organization requires. No big organization depends on one particular tool. Defender lacks that at this point."
"Some of the integrations that Defender should include involve the use of the web app."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
