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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and maintain while also being fully encrypted."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"The stability is great."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The solution is useful for security purposes."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature."
"Great cloud management."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."
"The management console need improvement."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
