"It is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"Detections could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution is not stable."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"Report generation can be improved."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
