Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""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.""This is stable and scalable.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""It is stable and scalable.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none.""The solution has a high level of trust in the industry.""The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken.""It's pretty unintrusive""CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats.""It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment.""CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."

More CylanceOPTICS Pros →

"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up.""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions.""It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies.""Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest.""The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs.""It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"

More Fidelis Elevate Pros →

Cons
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console.""Too many false positives are reported.""The detection component is something that they have to work on.""Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected.""The product's initial setup process could be easy.""The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions""The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive.""CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."

More CylanceOPTICS Cons →

"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface.""The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved.""Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement.""We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new.""I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.""There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial.""Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."

    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.

    Our cloud-native BlackBerry® Optics provide visibility, on-device threat detection and remediation across your organization. In milliseconds. And our EDR approach effectively and efficiently hunts threats while eliminating response latency. It’s the difference between a minor security event—and one that’s widespread and uncontrolled.

    Fidelis Elevate integrates network visibility, data loss prevention, deception, and endpoint detection and response into one unified solution. Now your security team can focus on the most urgent threats and protect sensitive data rather than spending time validating and triaging thousands of alerts.
