"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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."

"It is a very complete platform."
"Technical support is excellent."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."

Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"Report generation can be improved."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
