"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."

"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."

"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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 can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"The interface is complex."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
