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 stability is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"The most valuable thing for me is that when I'm using the internet and I reach some site that isn't so secure, or isn't recommended because they don't have a good reputation, ESET will notify me."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"The stability is great."
"The inspection feature allows complete monitoring"
"The solution provides good accessibility and is not heavy on resources when there are updates or when it is in operation."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"It is stable."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"We do get false positives."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"The management console need improvement."
"If we could bypass the first couple of levels of support when we have a problem then it would be easier and quicker when we need an issue resolved."
"The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."
"The solution lacks technical support."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
