We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet FortiClient 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."The setup is pretty simple."
"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"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"
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"If there are multiple alerts, the app will automatically create and rate an event instead of going through each one."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The Fortinet FortiClient is simple to use."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"It’s easy to use."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"Installation was easy."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"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."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The user interface on the central server could be improved."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
