Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""This is stable and scalable.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""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"

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold.""Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment.""I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI.""Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective.""For me, the technical support is good.""Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered.""The solution is efficient."

"The most valuable feature of Sentinel is the dashboard.""The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources.""The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this.""The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure.""The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good.""One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this.""The tool is simple to use."

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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'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.""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 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.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"They need to improve their technical support services.""I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement.""The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time.""Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business.""The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved.""Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on.""Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts.""The reporting feature needs improvement."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response Cons →

"It is an ancient product.""This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions.""Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar.""There is no integration in the web-side of the tool.""You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced.""I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard.""There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms.""I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."

    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.

    Cybereason's Endpoint Detection and Response platform detects in real-time both signature and non-signature-based attacks and accelerates incident investigation and response. Cybereason connects together individual pieces of evidence to form a complete picture of a malicious operation.

    Sentinel is a full-featured Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that simplifies the deployment, management and day-to-day use of SIEM, readily adapts to dynamic enterprise environments and delivers the true "actionable intelligence" security professionals need to quickly understand their threat posture and prioritize response.
