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."The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is a scalable product."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"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 threat analysis center is nice."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Its stability can be improved. It is not as reliable as I would like it to be. There are times when things don't work quite right. Our biggest pain point is not related to Fortinet FortiClient and the whole scheme of things. It is related to one of the additional services called FortiGuard. They are the arm that does all of the updates to definitions, keeps all the signatures updated, and responds to new threats and whatnot. What we have found is that they react quickly, but sometimes their solutions aren't compatible with all of the components of the Fortinet security suite, specifically around FortiSandbox."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"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."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
