"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"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"
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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"
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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 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."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
