"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X. We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"I like the way it goes beyond the office space. Being a cloud-based solution makes it very easy to manage your endpoints within the office. In this time of COVID, you can also very effectively manage people who are working from home."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus and malware application control."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"The number of accessories included is the most valuable feature."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
"The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
"The application and web controls have room for improvement."
"The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."
"I think that this product needs to improve the data loss prevention port."
