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."Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Sophos Intercept X is a very effective solution and its being cloud-based is a benefit. Wherever my users are, I can apply policies to them. In the era of mobility, when users are out of the office or they're in different locations, it doesn't matter."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The interface is very good."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
"Should include additional integration."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"I would like to see better support for virtual and desktop infrastructures."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The interface is not the best."
