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."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."
"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."
"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 stability is very good."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"All the vendor patches are synchronized automatically."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Windows patching and the hardware and software inventory."
"The product is less costly when compared to other solutions, and this is a good solid solution for what we have paid."
"BigFix helped us to identify the compliance of devices and has also improved the way that we manage our software inventory for reporting to vendors."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"We found the implementation partner to be very supportive in terms of explaining and training the in-house resources and deploying the solution."
"Almost every feature is wonderful in BigFix. It is very stable, and we can rely on it. It is an awesome tool."
"BigFix technical support is good."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The solution is stable."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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"
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"The solution should have some kind of a local caching methodology, where the patches can be taken locally into a localized relay server, and from there, the patch can be applied, so that there is not much usage of the network required."
"I would like to see different types of reporting and the ability to integrate closer with the cloud."
"I would like to see the Self Service section made more user-friendly."
"In order to derive maximum benefit from BigFix, it is essential that we configure all of its features and implement them effectively. If the automation could be improved we would be able to mitigate the risks associated with zero-day threats."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"The sub-capacity licensing was a challenge for some of it. We had trouble getting it to calculate right."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
