Pros
"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.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""The setup is pretty simple.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""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.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints.""Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security.""The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

More Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Pros →

"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly""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.""The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions.""Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest.""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.""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten""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."

More Fidelis Elevate Pros →

Cons
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""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.""They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller.""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 solution should allow the automation of playbooks.""The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously.""The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

More Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Cons →

"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex.""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.""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.""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."

    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.

    With Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) you can detect and respond to advanced threats. Datto EDR is an easy to use cloud based EDR solution that's designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

    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.
