Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""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 is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up.""It is stable and scalable.""The setup is pretty simple.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"​Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks.​""It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis.""It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks.""It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy.""I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.""Technical support is excellent.""CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions.""The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Pros →

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well.""The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present.""It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses.""It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will.""The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset.""Auto-Remediation""I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.""Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection Pros →

Cons
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""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.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""The solution is not stable."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not.""It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans""At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point.""They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network.""The endpoint machines need improvement.""Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert.""The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend.""The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Cons →

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support.""We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out.""Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine.""I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI.""The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement.""We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer.""Reporting system could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
  • "There are no issues with the pricing."
  • "The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
  • "The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
  • "I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
  • "The pricing is good."
  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

  • "Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
  • "We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
  • "Work on a price tier plan."
  • "If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
  • "I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
  • "The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
  • "The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

    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.
