We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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 stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's easy to install and connect and has OTP on email IDs and two-factor authentication."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
