"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The stability is very good."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"It has a very easy-to-use interface. It has ease of management, and all the modules are there. SKUs are also easily identifiable. Whatever is required in the firewall is already there in it. It's very advanced, and analytics reporting is very good. They also have cloud reporting. You get all the services that are available for your device in the cloud. You just have to subscribe. It's very easy. There's a lot of demand for this solution because it's an all-in-one solution. The throughput is very high."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."

"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"It’s easy to use."

"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."

"It could download faster during deployment."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."

"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
