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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"There's the possibility of being able to do the administration from the Check Point portal, maintaining control and visibility of the different security events at all times."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"It’s really easy to use."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"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"
"Detections could be improved."
"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"I would like to see more automation."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"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."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
