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 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"
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"It is a scalable product."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers."
"The pricing is fair. It's not too costly for our small organization."
"The performance is good."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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"
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"I would like to see an improvement in the web filter, because I think it can be more user-friendly."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
