"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"It is a very complete platform."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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 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."
"Detections could be improved."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I heard that Fortinet is going to enhance the firmware to have mobile versions. One is like Linux long-term support SCS and one with new features, but there is no support here. We spoke with the vendor multiple times, and they said that they will release these features soon."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"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."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation."
