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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"It is pretty secure, and it gives extensive vulnerability features as compared to other applications. It supports multiple languages, and the security checks are pretty high as compared to other tools in the market."
"What I like most is that it is a powerful solution."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"BigFix can manage lost devices, so you can wipe them remotely to ensure the IP doesn't get out in public. Unified endpoint security is a new perspective. I know that HCL is also collaborating with IBM, but I'm not sure if there is any cooperation between them and MaaS360 or other endpoint components."
"The most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"It's enabled us to have a highly successful endpoint patching program for the past decade. It's been enormously successful there. It's also become a core part of many of our business processes, from compliance monitoring of endpoints, encryption management, key escrow, and local administrator password escrow. It's built into our inventory. It's very much everywhere."
"I’ve found patching to be the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"McAfee EndPoint Security has a lot of good features that work well if they are implemented properly."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The sub-capacity licensing was a challenge for some of it. We had trouble getting it to calculate right."
"I self-taught for this online, so the initial setup was a little difficult to pick up at first. I had to create a couple of testing environments and destroy them in order to learn how to use it. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading of the manuals."
"I would like to see improvements in the Web UI program and also a BigFix console for Mac OS."
"They need better integration."
"Maybe the online help could be improved. It'd be nice if you would have a lot more phrases and keywords that you could search for and find answers with the help."
"I would request them to build a robots, or an easier way for integration with the other tools, like ITSM tools."
"I would like better support on the backend."
"The BigFix Inventory could have an increased scope regarding the tools that can be detected. It does not cover all the possible software installed in Asset."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
