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."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"The performance is great."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."

"You can scale the product."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"It is a stable solution."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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 SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"The documentation could be improved."
"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."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
