Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"The technical support is good."
"The security is its most valuable feature."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"The most important characteristic of our requirements was the implementation of disk encryption."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."
"It's pretty unintrusive"
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment."
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"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 support needs improvement."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"The product's technical support is slow."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive."
"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console."
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."
