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."The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"This is stable and scalable."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."

"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."

"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
