"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The stability is very good."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"It offers very good security protection."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"The security is very good, compared to some other products."
"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"The product is quite scalable."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."
"I like its reporting."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"It would be a better solution if Carbon Black Cb Defense had an on-promise solution and a virus auto delete or quarantine."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"The support is poor."
