Pros
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""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."

"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up.""After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours.""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions.""It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly""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.""The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten""It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM."

"Its flexibility is the most valuable.""What I like most about IBM Resilient is that it has a complete stack, which means you don't need to use different OEM products because you have all you need under the IBM Resilient umbrella. You don't need to worry much about integrations and components because you're working with tested and proven architecture.""This is a good solution that we recommend for customers.""The most valuable thing about it is how easy it is to navigate the user interface.""The most valuable features of IBM Resilient are its flexibility and customization options for incident response.""The solution is reliable in our usage.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The product is very good at incident response."

Cons
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""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.""ZTNA can improve latency.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."

More Fortinet FortiEDR 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.""I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.""The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved.""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.""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.""Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex.""Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."

More Fidelis Elevate Cons →

"Its price needs improvement.""The product needs a bit more development.""Integrating IBM Resilient with other applications can be very difficult and technically challenging. Often, they use the excuse that you are using the latest version of an application, such as an endpoint security system, and they don't have an API or support for it at the moment. There is no automation in the SOAR solution.""The ability to analyze incidents needs to be improved in the solution.""It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration.""IBM Resilient is quite complex, including its configuration.""The response time of the support is an area of concern where improvements are required.""One thing to improve is how it handles data formats, which currently might require scripting for conversion to CSV before uploading."

  • "It is very expensive."
  • "There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten.

    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.

    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.

    The Resilient Incident Response Platform (IRP) is the leading platform for orchestrating and automating incident response processes.

    The Resilient IRP quickly and easily integrates with your organization’s existing security and IT investments. It makes security alerts instantly actionable, provides valuable intelligence and incident context, and enables adaptive response to complex cyber threats.
