We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Forescout Platform 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."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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"It scans all the endpoints in your cloud and on-premises for vulnerabilities, threats, and malware attacks."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"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."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"Being able to actively identify the client without a certificate allows you to control every device on your network regardless of the make, model, and software running. This allows for end-to-end security."
"The most valuable features of ForeScout is the fact that it can do network access control either with 802.1x or without 802.1x."
"The 802.1X compliance authentication feature of this solution is very good."
"We think it's simple. We think it's very useful and we really like reports and everything."
"The plugins are very robust -- the ability scanner, patch management system, and SQL integrator."
"The stability is amazing for the Forescout Platform. We have been using Forescout for four years, and no one complained about the stability."
"The standout strength of this solution lies in its unique capability to effectively manage unmanaged switches."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"Areas that have room for improvement are the scope of the product and, while I think the support is good, they can improve support as well."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"I would like to see is this same solution being able to link with the services of different corporate networks as if they were a remote access VPN extension and thus not require additional licenses."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
"The solution could always improve by adding more features to make it more robust."
"Multitenancy should be included in the next version so it could be used as a managed service provider."
"More detailed analysis during the authentication process, especially for troubleshooting access issues. We have found that troubleshooting RADIUS controls is quite arduous, as it is today. A trace function could easily resolve this by providing a means by which access issues from a certificate to passwords or accounts could easily be identified and remediated."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"The fact that Forescout Platform doesn't have a presence in the South African region is a weakness because of which you can't ask for help from them if you have any problems."
"I believe that the overall user experience has not always been preferable."
