"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"One of the strengths of Harmony is its power to detect threats and keep us safe."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"The inspection feature allows complete monitoring"
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."
"I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version."
"I like the integration; it lets you see the product installed on a particular computer."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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 haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"They could be more aggressive with malware."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
