"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution offers excellent reporting features. Our customers have been satisfied that they have been able to meet their compliance needs by giving them a standard report."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"The flexibility of the search feature and the solution's analytics features are the most valuable parts of the solution."
"The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs."
"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Detections could be improved."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"Log management could be better because transporting the log from a password to the client system takes time."
"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
