"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"When they started they found it very easy; not easy to implement but easy to use. We started with the headquarters here and later we also implemented it for all the subsidiaries in the region, in other countries. They have a centralized solution, so they can help other countries in management."
"It's a good proxy to control the user's access to the website."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates."
"I like the endpoint detection and response. That's the best feature. I also like the fact that we don't need to use a file on the computer, whereas some anti-malware solutions work with a file on the endpoint. Symantec is a very good option compared to solutions from other vendors."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"The solution offers very good security features and is comparable to Sophos."
"The product has been quite stable."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Speed"
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"This latest version has proven unreliable for management and installation."
"The monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
"If the agent can be minimized so that it can work with in-memory concepts, that would be ideal. As of now, it is file-based, signature-based."
"The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"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."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
