"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"It's pretty easy to scale."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is beneficial because we are using Microsoft Windows and all the core solutions are made by Microsoft, such as the authentic platform, operating system, and antivirus protection. It is a heterogeneous environment. We had to use third-party solutions before and update everything separately. For example, the policy for antivirus. With Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, when Microsoft Windows receives updates it will update with it. This is one main advantage of this solution."
"This is not an inventory solution, but it helps you take count of how many workstations you have, as well as what software is installed on each of them."
"Stable endpoint manager, antivirus, and antimalware, with fast technical support and a straightforward setup."
"It is easy to use because it is already pre-installed in Windows 10. We don't have to do anything to configure it. You can also configure the firewall by using a group policy so that it can be easily adopted in an environment."
"Defender is a part of Windows; you just need to enable it. There is no need to install anything."
"User-friendly, offering safety and security."
"Technical support is good."
"The reporting part is awesome."
"The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstation and caused performance issues."
"The tool saves 50% of the staff's time."
"The visibility component is the most valuable feature."
"The strength of SentinelOne is that it has an automated, active EDR. It does that first level of what a SOC analyst would do, automatically, using artificial intelligence, so we can focus on other things. Active EDR not only notifies you, but it actually fixes that first level. That is unheard of. Very few, if any, companies do that."
"We have a preference for their receptor. It's good at finding many EFC files. EFC files could have a virus."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the rapid threat detection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"In active mode, it's great that it gives you so much information, but it does record every keystroke so you have a lot of logs... that amount of data logging started to add up in the cost."
"It can get a bit laggy sometimes. Other than that, we don't have any issues. They constantly tweak it and fix it up based on users' feedback. It has improved a lot over the past four years. Defender for Endpoint never really used to be a good endpoint security solution, but over the past couple of years, Microsoft has invested heavily in it. So, it has come a long way in all aspects of endpoint security. If they want to make it better, they should just continue investing in the current path of what they've been doing over the past couple of years."
"The central management console should be improved because it provides limited options to configure Windows Defender."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by adding more security features."
"There is room to improve the security of the solution."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should have more transparency. In the latest edition of Windows, Windows 11, it is a compulsory requirement to connect to a Microsoft account, which in turn has implications for Defender. This should be removed."
"The frequency of the patching, and the frequency of the updates, are not included with the free version."
"We'd like the stability to be better."
"The grouping feature needs improvement."
"I am not a fan of the UI and feel it has room for improvement."
"SentinelOne is causing a problem with the data service that causes one of our applications to crash randomly. We're still looking for a permanent fix, but we have implemented a temporary workaround that excludes that application from the scan."
"We'd like SentinelOne to upgrade automatically. It doesn't automatically update the agent if some system has an older version of the SentinelOne. It has to be triggered from the console."
"Singularity Complete needs to improve its ability to granularly select and extract the executable files that I want to run."
"The solution does not have an application security and control module."
"The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges."
"Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD)."
