Pros
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""This is stable and scalable.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""It is stable and scalable.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""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.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"All the features are beneficial.""I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector.""Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS.""CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details.""The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment.""I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon.""The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products.""I like the Overwatch feature the most."

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."

Cons
"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 find the solution to be a bit expensive.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""The solution is not stable.""Detections could be improved.""ZTNA can improve latency."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"We sometimes get false positives.""There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service.""In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features.""The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool.""CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine.""A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined.""On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant.""This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."

    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.
