Pros
"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 setup is pretty simple.""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.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""It is stable and scalable.""The stability is very good.""This is stable and scalable.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints.""Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security.""The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

More Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Pros →

"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service.""We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues.""Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients.""While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial.""It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them.""The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."

More Huntress Pros →

Cons
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""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""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""The support needs improvement.""ZTNA can improve latency.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously.""The solution should allow the automation of playbooks.""The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

More Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Cons →

"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities.""Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers.""I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there.""Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved.""The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications.""We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports.""I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365.""One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."

    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.

    With Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) you can detect and respond to advanced threats. Datto EDR is an easy to use cloud based EDR solution that's designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

    Hackers are constantly evolving, exploiting new vulnerabilities and dwelling in small business environments—until they meet Huntress. Discover the power of managed detection and response backed by ThreatOps.
