We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""The stability is very good.""Impressive detection capabilities"

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds.""The sandbox functionality is fantastic.""Feature-wise, the learning mode and the fact that it's blocking everything are the most valuable. I don't see why more companies don't use the type of product.""The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines.""We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running.""ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective.""The most valuable feature is selective elevation, which allows elevating an individual process to admin privilege without granting admin privilege to that user, which has been by far the most useful feature outside of the overall solution itself.""While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."

More ThreatLocker Protect Pros →

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses.""We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily.""The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself.""The Webroot cloud console is very powerful.""Auto-Remediation""Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection.""The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset.""There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection Pros →

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Intelligence aspects need improvement""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.""ZTNA can improve latency."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Something we have come up against a couple of times is that we have two clients that are software developers. They create software that doesn't have digital signatures and that's not easy to categorize or whitelist with ThreatLocker. We have to go in and make custom rules to allow them to do their work and to be protected from malicious threats.""The portal can be a little overwhelming at times from an administration point of view. It displays a lot of information, and it's all useful. However, sometimes there is too much on the screen to sift through, especially if you're trying to diagnose a client's problem with a piece of software. Maybe something has stopped working since they updated it, and we need to see if ThreatLocker is blocking a component of that software.""More visibility in the built-ins would be nice.""ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week.""We identified several areas that we would like to see improved.""There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up.""If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out.""ThreatLocker Allowlisting needs to improve its user interface and overall workflow."

More ThreatLocker Protect Cons →

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive.""Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support.""The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something.""We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer.""Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN.""I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously.""There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    The ThreatLocker platform is a robust Zero Trust endpoint security solution, safeguarding organizations against ransomware, malware, and various cyber threats through a unified approach. It incorporates key features like Application Allowlisting, Ringfencing, and Dynamic Network Control. Application Allowlisting ensures that only authorized applications run on endpoints, preventing unauthorized software and thwarting ransomware and malware threats. Ringfencing isolates approved applications from one another and the operating system, inhibiting malware spread and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Dynamic Network Control regulates traffic, enhancing security by closing unused ports and opening them as needed for authorized connections. The ThreatLocker platform simplifies security management with a centralized console and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. 

    Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection offers a unique security approach that protects against threats across numerous vectors; including email, web browsing, file attachments, hyperlinks, display ads, social media apps, and connected devices like USB drives, as well as other blended threats with the potential to deliver malicious payloads. SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection is fully cloud-based management, means no on-premises hardware or software is needed and the console is always up to date and there are no definitions or signatures to deploy and manage. Webroot SecureAnywhere Business Endpoint Protection offers highly accurate and effective endpoint malware prevention with a range of additional security shield capabilities that keep both the user and the device safe, Malware detection occurs continuously in real time, so performance issues fade away.
