We performed a comparison between BigFix and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 stability is very good."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"What I like most is that it is a powerful solution."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"The architecture for patching and the 100% correct reporting makes BigFix stand apart from other solutions."
"One of the biggest benefits BigFix has had for our organization is the ease and efficiency to perform many different tasks, across pillars and platforms, all from one pane of glass."
"It's very straightforward."
"Prior to BigFix we used Altiris, which was distributed. We had to manage multiple servers, and duplicate the tasks that we did on each server. BigFix tremendously reduced the amount of work that we had to do on each server in a centralized manner. We could minimize the work that we had to do, and we had a lot more control over the tasks and what machines they ran on."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Windows patching and the hardware and software inventory."
"Vulnerability scanning and patch automation."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"It's a very good product overall."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"The BigFix Inventory could have an increased scope regarding the tools that can be detected. It does not cover all the possible software installed in Asset."
"It could use better integration with Hypervisor products like VMware."
"I would like better support on the backend."
"BigFix should improve its compatibility with other platforms, such as Linux."
"License management isn't quite as easy as it should be to deal with the licensing. You need to take the server down to import the new licenses which I find to be annoying."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"The reporting structure could be a little more simplistic. Currently, it throws too many vulnerabilities. Some of them are not needed because they are only informational and limitations, and they are not of much help. It doesn't need to show us these things."
"We would like to see a different license plan, e.g. to include features from lifecycle with Patch Management, as an example."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
