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."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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
