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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"The solution does all that we expect it to do."
"The solution is scalable."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The most valuable features of this product include network isolation for machines and the ability to work with a consistent and defined set of virtual machines."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"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."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
"The GUI could be better."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
