We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Seqrite Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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"
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"Installation was easy."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"It’s really easy to use."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I would like to see an improvement in the web filter, because I think it can be more user-friendly."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"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."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The interface is slow."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
