We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Stormshield Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"You can scale the product."
"The service is centralized."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
