Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""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.""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's initial setup phase is very easy.""The setup is pretty simple.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""The security features are very valuable.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

More Tanium Pros →

"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision.""The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment.""It is a really strong solution for endpoint security.""Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP.""The installation phase of the solution was very easy.""If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints.""MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle.""FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."

More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Pros →

Cons
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""ZTNA can improve latency.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""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.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The solution lacks mobility.""They could improve the UI.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization.""The reporting could be improved.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

More Tanium Cons →

"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately.""McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution.""Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement.""One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying.""Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition.""The solution lacks device control.""We would like to solution to offer better security.""I would like to see more automation."

    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.
