We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Intercept X Endpoint 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."Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level. While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"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 initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
