"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"This is stable and scalable."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."

"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."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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 product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
