"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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"
"It is stable and scalable."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"It’s really easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"Everything in Intercept X Endpoints is much centralised which makes it easy for our team to work with. The functions are in a single portal."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"The solution is not stable."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers."
