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."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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"One of the biggest benefits BigFix has had for our organization is the ease and efficiency to perform many different tasks, across pillars and platforms, all from one pane of glass."
"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."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"It allows for visibility into the OT, the industrial environments, that didn't exist before which is a big piece and has benefited my organization. Second, the speed at which people can patch is night and day versus SCCM scan or another similar solution."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"The most valuable aspect of BigFix is its ability to patch desktops. While we have complete control over servers and can easily push patches to them, desktops pose a greater risk for leaks and vulnerabilities if patches are not installed in a timely manner. By using BigFix, we have significantly improved our ability to patch desktops, whether they are laptops, desktops, or other mobile devices used by end-users."
"Having higher visibility on patching level, on patching successful, and non-successful has been a way that BigFix has improved my organization. Also, the ability to customize the content to do what we need it to do is very powerful and very flexible for us. Finally, in the area of custom interfaces like REST API really gives us the ability to provide for our external customers."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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"
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I would like to see the Self Service section made more user-friendly."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The reporting structure could be a little more simplistic. Currently, it throws too many vulnerabilities. Some of them are not needed because they are only informational and limitations, and they are not of much help. It doesn't need to show us these things."
"The deployment has room for improvement and can be more streamlined."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"BigFix should improve its compatibility with other platforms, such as Linux."
"The self-service application seems to need some work to replace the client UI. There are a lot of pop-ups if you use a baseline as the object that you're setting to a workstation. Unless you're using web UI, the message is not customizable in the user notification."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
