"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 pricing could be better."
"If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."

"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
