"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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.

"Detections could be improved."
"The SIEM could be improved."

"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
