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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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 detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"The most valuable features are the DLP and anti-virus functionality."
"The antivirus signature is valuable."
"The stability is good and I like the level of performance I can get."
"Trend Micro has consistently been recognized as a leader for endpoint security on Gartner, which has been our top priority. Based on my personal experience, we encountered fewer ransomware attacks for Trend Micro customers in Sri Lanka."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it also protects our smartphones. It's one of the reasons we use Trend Micro specifically."
"The solution integrates well with other Trend Micro products."
"What I like about Trend Micro Smart Protection is that it detects unknown threats that are not visible on other platforms. It catches low-hanging threats, such as certain binary downloads, that aren't flagged by other tools."
"The tool will query the information from the cloud to identify suspicious or malicious files that can be a threat. It will provide you with real-time updates on the latest and ongoing attacks and malware information."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Detections could be improved."
"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"
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"No online encryption or cloud services are available for the tool, so my company has to install it mostly in an on-premises environment. Encryption or cloud services need to be made available in the product."
"It does not provide insights into what is being done."
"This product is not very simple and in fact, kind of hard for some people to understand."
"There are no data loss prevention features."
"The solution's device control options are not too beneficial."
"The threat response could be a bit better."
"The administration could be better. They could decrease the administrative burden and enable easier management. There are many features, options, and settings which is quite challenging for some of our customers. The complexity of the interface is also an issue. From a software point of view, I would prefer to see actual signatures and actual protection patterns, rather than new features."
"Sometimes, the tool bases its actions on behaviour, and we lack a policy learning mechanism. If Trend Micro Smart Protection introduced an AI model, its protection capabilities would be enhanced. I used a different browser once, which may have prevented protection. Another time, our own ISP was added to the blacklist, and it took the support team two business days to resolve it."
