"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness.""It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product.""The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation.""Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing.""It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything.""It's straightforward to set up.""The solution is easy to use.""The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."

"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed.""Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients.""It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things.""While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial.""Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures.""The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."

More Huntress Pros →

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers.""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.""We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""Intelligence aspects need improvement"

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved.""The solution could improve by providing more security.""It reduces network and bandwidth speed.""It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection.""It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market.""It could download faster during deployment.""Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement.""The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."

More Avast Business Hub Cons →

"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved.""The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm.""I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there.""Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers.""One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures.""In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards.""We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports.""Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."

    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.

    Built on the largest, most globally dispersed threat detection network in the world, Avast Business Endpoint Protection Solutions deliver superior, enterprise-grade protection that keeps small and medium businesses safe from today’s threats - and tomorrow’s.
