Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""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.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""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""Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs.""The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode.""I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware.""I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background.""The dashboard and granular control features are great.""The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription.""It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage.""The product is stable"

More Bitdefender Total Security Pros →

"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall.""The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team.""It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.""The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it.""I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature.""Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management.""The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."

Cons
"Detections could be improved.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location.""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.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""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""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.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power.""The solution could improve the way they manage it.""It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats.""The stability could be improved.""When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware.""I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations.""Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia.""Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."

More Bitdefender Total Security Cons →

"I think the technical support could be better.""Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement.""SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future.""In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included.""They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR.""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.""Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible.""There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."

    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.
