"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."
"The product is stable"
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"The stability could be improved."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
