The product also has sandboxing features."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."

"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"Threat protection has always worked well."
"With a single console, you get control over Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. This control is most valuable."
"It is easy to use. Its interface is user-friendly. So, anybody can use it very well, which is a good thing."
"I like the endpoint detection and response. That's the best feature. I also like the fact that we don't need to use a file on the computer, whereas some anti-malware solutions work with a file on the endpoint. Symantec is a very good option compared to solutions from other vendors."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"The product has been quite stable."
"The best thing about Symantec is its ability to control our endpoints from a single point. You can manage the antivirus definitions, upgrades, remote scanning, etc., from one console."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"There was an administrative feature, which was available in the previous version, which has been removed. We would like that feature to be added again."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface."
"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"There is a lack of reporting and alerts."
"The enterprise edition does not report attacks on external devices."
