"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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 stability is very good."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"It is stable."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The solution is easy to use, manage, and review all incidents."
"Improved our organization's TCO."
"We've found the technical support to be very good."
"The tool helps with infrastructure, application, and network monitoring."
"I think the QDI is very good."
"IBM QRadar Advisor with Watson is a stable solution."
"An engineer can live-monitor all the flow happening in real-time. This would help us a lot while investigating a case, and it would even help us with preventive actions."
"The threat protection network is the most valuable feature, because when you get an offense, you can actually trace it back to where it originated from, how it originated, and why."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"The interface could be improved."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"It is very difficult to activate all of the network equipment, and it would help if it were made easier."
"The only problem is that if you have too many events that occur, then the storage capacity becomes a problem. We would need to increase the storage capacity."
"Integration could be better. They should make it easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The technical support can be improved a little bit, and the price could be cheaper."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"From a functionality point of view there are issues sometimes."
"The modularity could be improved."
"I don't look at only the features and benefits; I also look at the price. It is a bit expensive when compared with other solutions. It is expensive for specific deployment topologies, and the decision-makers go for alternatives like ArcSight. It should also have more AI features or capabilities for better threat intelligence. The more it uses machine learning, the better would be the dashboard, analytics, and other things."
