"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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 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"
"The stability is very good."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Windows patching and the hardware and software inventory."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."
"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."
"Software distribution and patch management are the most valuable."
"BigFix is incredibly fast and accurate in patching, reporting, and remediation."
"BigFix helped us to identify the compliance of devices and has also improved the way that we manage our software inventory for reporting to vendors."
"Almost every feature is wonderful in BigFix. It is very stable, and we can rely on it. It is an awesome tool."
"I like its reporting."
"It has the best live response feature."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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"
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Detections could be improved."
"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 reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"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."
"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 would eventually like to see a SaaS offering, a cloud-hosted BigFix instance where we only have to put a relay in our environment."
"I would like better support on the backend."
"There is no support for patch management on SLES on IBM pSeries (only the Intel platform is supported)."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"They don't have a proper mobile device management capability. They're working on it, however, that's the one thing that needs improvement so that you can have full unified endpoint management."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"The support is poor."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
