Maintains continuity, prevents malicious attacks, and offers helpful configuration capabilities
What we have noticed is that ZoneAlarm presents updates regularly in a certain part, however, having many updates still means that the tool is not yet 100%. For the moment, it is fulfilling the necessary functions for which it was acquired and has not has provided us with anti-malware, ransomware security. This has helped us to prevent malicious attacks on our employees who have their own device and with this solution, we have maintained the continuity of the company without any penetration or theft of sensitive information. Its installation and configuration are very interactive however, there are some confusing points. That is where the documentation is not very clear and precise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."

"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"I like the security that this solution provides."

"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"It is quick and easy to configure."
 

Cons

"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"The support must provide quick responses."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."

"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"The stability could be better."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
"The support is not always so effective."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
