"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of use."

"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

"We do get false positives."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."

"The solution's access control could be improved."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."

"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
