Featured Reviews

AshleyMorales - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps detect and prevent attacks and offer helpful sandbox analysis
The configuration could be optimized. The usability could improve. They need to make the guides more specific with images, as it is very complicated to guess where each option is located. The management of alerts could improve them a bit - especially in event management. In terms of performance, at some point, I have come to feel that it drops during certain hours. Some additional features that can be added may be the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
Jovan Jovanovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.
