Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"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."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
