"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"The dashboard is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"The support needs improvement."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"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."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
