Pros
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""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.""It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture.""The stability is very good.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."

"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well.""Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device.""It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far.""You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines.""I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs.""When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others.""The solution is very scalable.""The most valuable feature is the IDS."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection.""It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well.""Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight.""They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing.""I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution.""Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers.""It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources.""I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection Pros →

Cons
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""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""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The solution must be more user-friendly.""My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem.""Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't.""It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board.""There is room for improvement in CPU utilization.""The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake.""The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates.""The dashboard can be improved."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Cons →

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace.""Unified threat management (UTM) integration.""The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others.""It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives.""It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer.""The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection.""There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

  • "Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."

  • "The license is yearly."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.
