"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"It takes too long to install."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
