"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The tool minimizes the impact of a breach with autonomous detection and response."
"We're able to secure all endpoints and manage them from a single console."
"The remote support is good."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"It needs more documentation and better ease of deployment. For documentation, it needs more information about integrating the endpoints on SandBlast Agent mobile as well as on desktop platforms."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"Tech Support must be better."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"The main real-time scanning takes most of the processing power of my notebook."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
