"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Kaspersky protects our company from ransomware attacks. We have multiple sites across the country, including the principal headquarters and different towns. We can see any viruses that are in the network and take action."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"It provides good security."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The support needs improvement."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Detections could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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"
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
