We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Forescout Platform 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."I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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 tool minimizes the impact of a breach with autonomous detection and response."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"We love that we don't have to upgrade it anymore. They take care of that."
"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"We really like that we get full visibility of devices in the local network."
"The initial setup is quite simple. It's not too complex or difficult to set up."
"Forescout is easy to integrate with a lot of end systems."
"Emergency response, risk assessment information to get a view of the of the vulnerability."
"This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"The most valuable feature is the blocking of USB devices."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, which does not require the use of an agent."
"The most valuable feature of Forescout Platform is that it has everything that Aruba has at significantly less cost."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Detections could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"In the next release of the solution, it could benefit from being more flexible to allow for more freedom."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
"As a user, if I am using a laptop that is Wi-Fi connected, Forescout identifies my port connectivity as one user license, and if I take that same laptop with the same username to a wired network, which is also the same network that is used for the Wi-Fi connection, Forescout detects it as a separate license."
"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket. We followed their advice, engaging the account manager and professional service team, only to discover that the issue was a bug. After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."
"For the user, the policy that they have implemented sometimes needs adjustments. Sometimes the features that the customer asks for aren't involved in the main installation, and I need to bolt an add-on in. However, I never know if this policy is the right one when I do this."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Custom integrations need to be better."
