Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""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 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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."

"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall.""It's quite simple to use and user friendly.""We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization.""One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud.""I appreciate the ability to use the latest endpoint protection features in case of an infection or cyber threat. This is especially true when using the product with a Sophos firewall solution, like the XG series. They collaborate effectively in the event of a cyber threat.""We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X. We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization.""It is one of the best in terms of technicality.""The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."

More Intercept X Endpoint Pros →

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection.""Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives.""In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first.""Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning.""The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins.""The update process and policy control are good."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security Pros →

Cons
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""The solution is not stable.""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.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities.""Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually.""I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it.""It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources.""Sophos needs to create a YouTube channel with educational material for technicians or engineers.""Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter.""Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer.""The initial setup can be a bit challenging."

More Intercept X Endpoint Cons →

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful.""The interface is slow.""In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control.""The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs.""A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less.""When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device.""I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection.""It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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 customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.
