"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The alerting features are the most valuable. We know that when something goes wrong, we get alerted instantly. That gives us a leg up. Even before the user knows what's happening, we're being alerted to step in and stop anything catastrophic from happening."
"The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstation and caused performance issues."
"It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have."
"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."
"The most valuable feature is that it does what it says it will do. It fulfills its claims. It’s not really common for products to do that today."
"It is purely cloud-based, meaning you don't need to have something installed, such as a server on-prem. You have cloud management and can access it from anywhere, with integration with SSO, with one click. It's also very lightweight."
"The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs."
"The solution is stable."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"It is a very complete platform."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."
"The setup process could be improved."
"Their documentation could afford to be a little bit better communicated. A lot of times we have to look at things in the knowledge base, and much of that could be communicated better, but that would probably be the only thing that needs to be improved."
"The MDM functionality and maturity still need improvement."
"The performance could be better. Singularity lags a bit, and it's a resource-hungry application, so it takes a while to load."
"There are features that I would like them to add. They have little to do with endpoint protection, but if they could add encryption and DLP on, it would make it even better."
"Managing the false positives creates additional management overhead. The behavioral analysis engine might misinterpret real user behavior as malware. For example, a drafter was cleaning up a Revit folder and deleting 4,000 files. That looks like ransomware. The SentinelOne agent kicked his computer off the network."
"I would have liked the dashboard to be more user-friendly."
"This product should be cheaper."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"The initial setup is complex."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
