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."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."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"It’s easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is not at all interesting for me as a standalone product, but as a product that is integrated with FortiGate with all features, it is actually a great tool and a great experience. I had test installed FortiClient working from home. I remembered and knew which web categories were denied or allowed. All those policies were correctly reflected standalone, for example, on my laptop."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Detections could be improved."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"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."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
