I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The stability is very good."
"This is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"It can scale as well."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"The interface is clean and well-organized, making it simple to navigate and find what we need."
"Feature-wise, the learning mode and the fact that it's blocking everything are the most valuable. I don't see why more companies don't use the type of product."
"Application control, ring-fencing, and storage control are the most important features, followed closely by elevation."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself."
"The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution is not stable."
"I've had a few other instances where the program stops running, and then you have to restore and reset it."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"ESET Endpoint Security lacks some advanced functionalities and features which would be useful to be interconnected with the solutions we use, such as Microsoft 365."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software."
"The reporting could be improved."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
"More visibility in the built-ins would be nice."
