"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"I like the way it goes beyond the office space. Being a cloud-based solution makes it very easy to manage your endpoints within the office. In this time of COVID, you can also very effectively manage people who are working from home."
"We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features."
"There are additional security features in Sophos Intercept X as well as proxy rules and settings that help us in minimizing the sites that our agents can go to, even after their work hours."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."

"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
"It is a scalable platform."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The logging issues must be fixed."
"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"The solution could improve on the resource management, it is a bit heavy on the resources."
"Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent."
