"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The solution integrates very well with Windows applications and Microsoft endpoint products."
"The stability keeps getting better and better."
"The folders and files protection are its most valuable features. These have been valuable because of the increase in ransomware attacks. With these two features, I can ensure that no changes have been made to our system or endpoint folders and files without the user being aware."
"Its real-time security is the most valuable."
"One of the main features is the solution is very light on resources and we do not have any problems with it."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its automation capabilities, particularly within security automation."
"Real-time detection and cloud-based delivery of detections are highly efficient."
"The integration with all variations of Microsoft Defender, for Endpoint, 365, and Cloud is valuable."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."

The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients.

Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It would be nice to have a paid upgrade that would provide additional screening of the day-to-day activities."
"A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."
"We would like to see more tools for managing on-premises security... Sometimes, we have the tools, like Defender, to manage security in the cloud, but because we are so focused on the cloud, we forget the fact that we need to be sure about the security of the on-premises environment, specifically Active Directory."
"From an audit point of view, our auditors would like to have more reports on how things are used, if things go wrong, and how they went wrong. For example, if something got a warning, "Why?" So, we would like more versatility for tracing and reporting. That would improve the product, as long as the user interface doesn't get bogged down."
"We'd like the stability to be better."
"Alerts need to be sent immediately because as it is now, you see some of them without delay and others arrive perhaps 30 minutes later, and it leaves important gaps in terms of information gathering."
"Where we stand right now, compared to other products that are there in the market, they still have to work on their threat intelligence and the overall maturity of detecting the malware."
"I would like to see integrations with other products, such as Spunk and other CM solutions. That would create possibilities for me, and for a SOC, to consolidate all events in an older console, not one provided by Microsoft but provided by a third party, and use it to create more insights."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"The product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
