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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The stability is very good."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"In terms of network usage, it actually reduced the amount of malicious attacks that we had. Before, we really didn't have a secure network. Each endpoint had to protect itself and probably most of them were not actually protected. Now, it's an entire process in which we've been able to cut down significantly the amount of malicious attacks by 60 percent that we get in the organization. It helps us to adequately monitor what has been going on with our network traffic and stopping individual attacks from accessing certain sites where we want to have restrictions or limitations."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"Forensic Analysis provides a complete analysis of threats via detailed reports."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"This solution is very stable."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It's very stable."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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"
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"From an improvement perspective, the major challenge we've faced with Harmony is the support."
"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."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
