"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."

"The product is user-friendly."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."

"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"Great cloud management."
"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a powerful antivirus."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Detections could be improved."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I would like to see an improvement in the web filter, because I think it can be more user-friendly."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"The logging issues must be fixed."
"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
