Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""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.""I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."

"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports.""You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines.""It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well.""It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far.""The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete.""Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature.""Protection is the most valuable feature.""The solution is very scalable."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Pros →

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system.""I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.""Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role).""The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself.""The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset.""Speed""It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will.""Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection Pros →

Cons
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""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.""ZTNA can improve latency.""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.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization.""The dashboard can be improved.""Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't.""The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved.""The initial setup should be made easier.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes.""The solution's stability could be better."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Cons →

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used.""Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement.""It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives.""I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive.""The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition.""Reporting system could be improved.""I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot.""We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

  • "Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."

  • "The license is yearly."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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 customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.
