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."Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The solution offers great stability."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The stability is pretty good."
"Installation was easy."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It is an easy-to-scale product."
"The main advantage of Palo Alto Networks VM-Series stems from the fact that you can access it with the help of cloud services."
"It ensures that every interaction, pre and post-loan processing, undergoes a thorough inspection, leveraging VPN features and comprehensive security protocols."
"The solution enables organizations to enforce policies."
"In terms of security breaches, the product aids in categorizing and monitoring traffic, allowing for the identification of potentially malicisous or incorrectly formatted applications."
"App-ID and User-ID have repeatedly shown value in securing business critical systems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The feature that I have found the most useful is that it meets all our requirements technically."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The price could also use improvement."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"The product could be better in terms of performance than one of its competitors."
"The implementation should be simplified."
"Just sometimes it can be a bit sluggish navigating through pages. That is just purely because of Java."
"They made only a halfhearted attempt to put in DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"I would like to see a more thorough QA process. We have had some difficulties from bugs in releases."
"The product's AIOps process needs improvement."
"The current licensing model can be a sore point as we're paying for features we're not fully utilizing."
