"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"It's very stable."
"You can scale the product."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"It is very powerful."
"The features are more expandable."
"The product offers good profiling features and can support various vendor products."
"It's easy to connect to a VPN without any hassles."
"The network segmentation is the most important part of the solution. The integration with the Zero Trust Access solution is a crucial part of segmenting your network."
"Fortinet FortiNAC is a stable solution."
"Fortinet FortiNAC is both scalable and stable."
"The solution is good at giving a deep dive into each product. It tells you, for example, what is connected to the network. It gives us good reporting tools."
"When it works, it's great. It keeps things off the network which are supposed to be off the network."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"The response and resolution time for technical support issues need to be improved."
"The technical support is bad. We've had to escalate to Tier 2 and Tier 3. My customer relationship manager on the other side of this has stopped returning phone calls and emails, because there has been such a constant back and forth."
"FortiNAC could improve integration with other vendors."
"We have some stability issues with the solution, the network drops out too often."
"The automation in Fortinet FortiNAC could improve."
"Technical support could improve their response times."
"The implementation process needs improvement. Right now, it's somewhat complicated. They could create some templates to facilitate implementation. Right now everything is done manually, and it just takes a really long time at the initial setup."
"The deployment of Fortinet FortiNAC could be better. When we are deploying the solution we have some level of dependencies with other vendors for their connection to Fortinet FortiNAC. Without these dependencies, it would be better."
