Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""The setup is pretty simple.""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""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.""This is stable and scalable.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"We are able to write some custom rules on SentinelOne.""The deep visibility is a valuable feature. I can use it during threats or alert signals that we get. I can also use it when we have alert signals from other security tools that we have.""The most valuable features are asset tracking, patching, endpoint tagging, and policy updates.""The most useful feature of all is deep visibility.""The terminating or killing remediation process that they use is top-notch. Pretty much anything that is even remotely malicious gets blocked by it within seconds. That is important for us. We have thousands of endpoints with tens of thousands of users. It is hard to do good security for that many people without some kind of automated detection and response. That is what SentinelOne does for us. It helps us automate that process.""The overview is valuable. There are a lot of instances out there, but Singularity Complete cuts the noise down by giving us graphics and color-coding information instead of massive tech dumps. It helps us concentrate on what is actually needed versus just the noise.""It is a good endpoint solution. That's the reason we chose it. We looked at other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, and based on the cost and the services it delivers, it was the better choice.""Sentinel One has improved our organization by protecting the environment we are working in."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Pros →

"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly.""The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices.""The solution is very easy to use.""The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good.""The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering.""The tool provides automated responses.""I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies.""The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."

More WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response Pros →

Cons
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""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.""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 →

"Using the filters takes a little bit of time to get to used to.""The solution should include USB blocking for specific machines.""The previous vendor had a lot more features and capabilities under the license. For example, I lost DLP as Sentinel One does not have DLP.""The process of uninstalling and reinstalling older agent updates needs improvement.""The documentation provided for implementation is not adequate and has caused us challenges.""The solution needs better reporting on new threats and malware. The reporting is present, but I can't find the information easily.""The speed of investigation of the MDR service team must be improved.""All is good for now, but we cannot rest, and continuous development - in particular with regard to the areas of automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence - is required to keep ahead of the cybercriminals."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Cons →

"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier.""The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger.""WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port.""The interface is not the best.""The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved.""The website must provide more information on the product.""The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup.""I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."

    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.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jeff D. who is an Operations Manager at Proton Dealership IT, tells us that "The detection rate for Sentinel One has been excellent and we have been able to resolve many potential threats with zero client impact. The ability to deploy via our RMM allows us to quickly secure new clients and provides peace of mind."

    "The most valuable feature varies from client to client but having absolute clarity of what happened and the autonomous actions of SentinelOne are what most people find the most assuring." relates Rae J., Director IR and MDR at a tech services company.

    Hackers are designing malware to be more sophisticated than ever. Through packing, encryption, and polymorphism, cyber criminals are able to disguise their attacks to avoid detection. Zero day threats and advanced malware easily slip by antivirus solutions that are simply too slow to respond to the constant stream of emerging threats. Organizations of all sizes need a solution that leverages a holistic approach to security from the network to the endpoint. WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response (TDR) is a powerful collection of advanced malware defense tools that correlate threat indicators from Firebox appliances and Host Sensors to stop known, unknown and evasive malware threats.
