"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"The stability on offer is fine."
"I appreciate the ability to use the latest endpoint protection features in case of an infection or cyber threat. This is especially true when using the product with a Sophos firewall solution, like the XG series. They collaborate effectively in the event of a cyber threat."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."
"I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"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."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
