Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""The setup is pretty simple.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"I haven't heard of any issues with stability.""Roaming feature, application control and firewall features.""The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring. If there is any abnormal behavior on the machine, the administrator will be alerted."

More Aruba IntroSpect Pros →

"The product has valuable front-end features.""We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get.""The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface.""This solution requires less management and is very easy to use.""We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall.""The initial setup is very fast and very easy.""If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation.""I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."

More Cynet Pros →

Cons
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""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.""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.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""The support needs improvement.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""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""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The packet analyzer needs improvement.""Technical support is a little slow.""I would like to see improvements made to the dashboard, where you can get the information with a simple click."

More Aruba IntroSpect Cons →

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken.""Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use.""Could have better integration with other security applications.""Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard.""A support center in Asia is needed.""I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed""The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time.""The solution lacks URL filtering."

    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.
