"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The key factor that attracted me to Sophos Intercept X was the multi-platform. I have multiple clients that have mixed environments of Mac and Windows. I am able to deliver a standard solution, regardless of the platform."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"The solution has very good usability."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"Low performance requirements."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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"
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
"The initial setup was not very user-friendly."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
