We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Fortinet FortiClient 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."he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"It's great for securing our endpoints from any external attacks."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the VPN."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"This solution is very stable."
"It is very powerful."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."
"The service is centralized."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The support needs improvement."
"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'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes the portal loads slowly which should be improved."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's agent is a bit heavy."
"It gives you an alert for malicious sites, which, after searching on the Google database, don't come out to be the same."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"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 pricing could use improvement."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
