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."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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 older version of the tools that I use also included the connectivity aspect, and the fact that the tool now has it separate from the collection of usage data makes the deployment of these tools much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the patching."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Windows patching and the hardware and software inventory."
"I like the inventory and life cycle management feature."
"The technical support for BigFix is really amazing."
"It's good for reporting hardware and software."
"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."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"The performance is good."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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"
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We need a much better multi-tenant option."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"The solution could improve by adding support drivers for different systems and equipment. When you have a lot of different computers if they could fix how to install any updates, firmware, or drivers for different systems or servers it would be good."
"I'd like to see better integration, with the different applications within BigFix. Instead of sometimes feeling like four or five different applications, they need to be integrated a little better within themselves."
"The stability is generally pretty good. The one thing that we came across is the battle between load on endpoints and load on our servers and relays versus how quickly, effectively and reliably actions can be taken. I'd like to not have to take an action on a system while I'm working with someone and then have to say whether something will happen between five seconds or thirty minutes from that point."
"I would like to see different types of reporting and the ability to integrate closer with the cloud."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
