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."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"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."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"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."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Detections could be improved."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
