Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It's very stable."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"The initial setup is very good."
"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"This solution can be used with any device, mobiles, desktops, or any appliances."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"Scalability is good."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
