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."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution is unbelievably scalable."
"The most valuable feature of BigFix is the reporting tool and patching Windows."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."
"The best feature of BigFix is its multi-platform support."
"The most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"It allows for visibility into the OT, the industrial environments, that didn't exist before which is a big piece and has benefited my organization. Second, the speed at which people can patch is night and day versus SCCM scan or another similar solution."
"I’ve found patching to be the most valuable feature of the solution."
"BigFix has drastically reduced the maintenance window period to patch and reboot servers."
"It significantly speeds up incident response times by alerting analysts immediately upon detecting potential issues."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"The portal is easy to use and manage."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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"
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I'd like to see better API integration with BigFix. We have some tremendous API capability inside of CyFIR and the ability to take textual search results, for example, and bring that back into the BigFix dashboard. This would be of extreme interest to us and our customers."
"I would like to see a web UI SDK so we could take what is provided currently and be able to build our own customized web UI for particular customers that want to sell service."
"We would like to see a different license plan, e.g. to include features from lifecycle with Patch Management, as an example."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"They need better integration."
"The self-service application seems to need some work to replace the client UI. There are a lot of pop-ups if you use a baseline as the object that you're setting to a workstation. Unless you're using web UI, the message is not customizable in the user notification."
"The remote software installation could be better."
"Around the scalability concern, I would like to see the ability to run teamed, clustered, or hierarchical root servers, in order to provide a more robust, high availability system. The single monolithic root server model does somewhat bother me."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"Report generation can be improved."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"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."
