"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."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is that it is light on resources. It has a very low impact on the system. It uses low memory and the setup size is very low."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"The solution is easy to install and configure."
"It has been working fine. It lets you know when it finds things. We didn't have any incident where the place had to shut down or was taken over by anything. We haven't had any issues that we know of."
"The solution has very useful MDM features."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is the accounting and reporting services are good and professional. The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients. It provides a clear understanding of usage, including how much traffic has been used and how much is remaining. Additionally, it's user-friendly and easy to understand. Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"The performance and scalability are impressive. We can install it on various computers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"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"
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The support needs improvement."
"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 user-friendly."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"The solution can improve the modules, and it is lacking centralized management and visibility of the endpoints."
"We do get false positives."
"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
