Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is stable and scalable."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"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."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"ESET provides good protection."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation. The detection is good and easy to use."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"I find all of the features valuable."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"The service is centralized."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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 amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"Online security could still be improved in ESET Endpoint Antivirus because security is threatened by phishing."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"There are some new antivirus technologies that rely on AI, artificial intelligence. ESET does not have this technology right now."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"I would like to see an improvement in the web filter, because I think it can be more user-friendly."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
