Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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"
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The stability is very good."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"Harmony's endpoint sandboxing is really good."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"It's easy to scale as needed."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"The product is very flexible"
"Users can scale the solution."
"We were able to reduce the number of privileged accounts by 50%, which helped to simplify our privileged access management environment."
"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very easy to manage, which I like. The solution also has a dashboard where you can see which software is suspicious, which I find valuable."
"This is the number one product for privilege account security."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"It offers great performance."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"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."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market."
"We would like to have the ability to stop and restart the service remotely, which is something that we can do easily with Symantec but have a hard time with when using Check Point."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"Performance could be better. We have a couple of problems with CyberArk right now. One of the problems is performance in our environment. Support also takes a long time to respond. If the user already has local admin rights, then I can't collect any events in the console from this device. There are also some options in CyberArk that are not working properly, and are not helpful in this case. I can't collect any information to create a proper policy for the device. I have to investigate everything manually, or even disable the local admin from the device. I can collect the events only after this, and it's very time consuming. In my case, it's a waste of resources."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"One area that has room for improvement is in managing the credentials for network devices."
"It's an old product and has many areas that can be improved."
"It is hard to deal with technical support if you are not certified."
"The tool should be more user-friendly."
