"BigFix technical support is good."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"It's good for reporting hardware and software."
"It enables us to patch our systems quickly and within expectations and to increase our volume as needed. It has also helped us compress our patch sites. We used to do it monthly but now we do it weekly."
"From a security standpoint, it allows us to make sure that we're not leaving ourselves vulnerable to exploits and things like that. That's the biggest advantage that we see to the product from a security standpoint."
"The product is less costly when compared to other solutions, and this is a good solid solution for what we have paid."
"The most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"Great technical support staff."

"The patch management module is very important."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"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 should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"License management isn't quite as easy as it should be to deal with the licensing. You need to take the server down to import the new licenses which I find to be annoying."
"I self-taught for this online, so the initial setup was a little difficult to pick up at first. I had to create a couple of testing environments and destroy them in order to learn how to use it. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading of the manuals."
"Its pricing should be improved. It is too costly."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"BigFix can improve the way machines report back to the console. In the external relay management environment, it has become more of a hybrid environment with most of the machines not being on-site. The need of having public-facing reporting items interconnected is becoming more and more crucial. In general, the reporting could use some enhancement."
"The sub-capacity licensing was a challenge for some of it. We had trouble getting it to calculate right."
"The BigFix Inventory could have an increased scope regarding the tools that can be detected. It does not cover all the possible software installed in Asset."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
