Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"The initial setup is very good."
"Installation was easy."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Detections could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
