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 setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"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 product is fairly reliable."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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"
"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 support needs improvement."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"They could improve the UI."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"The local technical support could be better."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
