"It automatically detects intrusion and malware."

"The most valuable features are the Windows Firewall and the regular virus definition updates. These features are very helpful and have helped to improve our security."
"The visibility into threats that the solution provides is pretty awesome... This is something that makes me think, "Wow, okay. If I had my own organization, I would probably get this too." It stops the threat before an employee gets phished or something gets downloaded to their computer."
"I like the simplicity of the portal and the integration with Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to use and implement."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."

"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."

"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"If you have multi-cloud like Google and AWS, the native solutions are better for those particular cases."
"I would just like them to have more consistency, and that's a comment that's across the board with Microsoft. They change things a lot."
"Sometimes the software doesn't work the way we expect it to, and in those cases, we can't communicate with a device because it may be infected."
"Notifications are always popping up — I hate that."
"There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need."
"This solution is not secure, which is why I have moved to Linux."
"The automation could be simpler on the mitigation side. It has a learning curve. Otherwise, it's pretty easy."
"I would like to have a dashboard that shows an overview of the results for the enterprise."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
