"Product-wise, it is amazing. It includes DLP, vulnerability management, and application whitelisting features. These features are very good and add value in selling this solution to our customers. These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye."
"Your workstation doesn't slow down, unlike when you use Symantec, for example."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it also protects our smartphones. It's one of the reasons we use Trend Micro specifically."

"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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.

"There were issues with the cloud management."
"It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features."

"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
"The only drawback to this solution is that it needs different products for different types of clients, and it would be better to have a single agent for all of the products."
"The solution needs to improve the deployment so it aligns with the latest Microsoft patches and upgrades. It makes the deployment process lengthy and painful."
"The web filtering could be improved."
"The threat response could be a bit better."
