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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"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."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"Compared to other similar solutions, it is faster in connecting."
"I find all of the features valuable."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The support needs improvement."
"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"
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"The tool could provide more advanced protection."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
"The product is not easy to use."
