The product also has sandboxing features."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The solution has good performance."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
