We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks 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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"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 dashboard is customizable."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"It is easy to use."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"It's very stable."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"It’s really easy to use."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"The price could also 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."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"The documentation could be improved."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
