"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is stable and scalable."

"The setup is pretty simple."
"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"ESET provides good protection."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"The most valuable features are the sandbox, mail scanning, sandboxing attachments, files, and that it responds to VPN porting."
"The maintenance is easy."

"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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 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"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"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."
"We do get false positives."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."

"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"The price could also use improvement."
"It takes too long to install."
