Comparison Results: Both solutions received very positive reviews from users. SentinelOne wins out because of users’ reports of high ROI and advanced customer support.
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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"
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"The overall security capability of the product is pretty reliable."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"Technical support has been very good. They are helpful and responsive."
"The product does not slow down the machine."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"The stability is good."
"The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."
"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."
"The process visualization, automated response, and snapshotting are valuable. The integration and automation possibilities are also valuable."
"The rollback feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"SentinelOne is very lightweight. It doesn’t consume much memory of endpoints. Endpoints don't hang, and machine performance doesn’t get impacted. Their technical support is also very nice."
"The best thing SentinelOne has done for us is that it gives us insight into the endpoints. We never had insight into lateral movement threats before. Once a threat known as Qbot gets on the network, it actually spreads throughout sub-networks quickly. SentinelOne has detected that and saved our bacon. We were able to get in there and stop the threat, lock it down, and prevent it from actually spreading through. It would have been 50 or 60 computers. It had spread through in a few minutes. We have a lot of HIPAA data and FERPA data that we need to keep protected."
"Its ability to interact with other third-party tools has been great for us. It can work through APIs and partners and integrate well."
"It is great for security monitoring and blocking when needed."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"The scalability could be better."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"I would like to see the reports from SentinelOne more customizable, as there are very few options."
"Deployment strategy for large organizations that do not use active directory (AD)."
"Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better."
"One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're they're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be."
"We need to analyze the threats and make decisions based on that, so the analytics could be better at analyzing exactly where the threats are coming from."
"The setup process could be improved."
"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."
"The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."
