"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."

"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."

"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"The support must provide quick responses."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
