We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is stable and scalable.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""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.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The most valuable features are the Windows Firewall and the regular virus definition updates. These features are very helpful and have helped to improve our security.""This solution definitely increases our security posture. When you are reviewing your existing fleet or endpoints and based on the configuration that you put out of your Defender for Endpoint, you then receive a security score from Microsoft. Depending on what rules you have configured, what policies you have deployed, and what attack surface reduction rules that you have set up and deployed, it is almost gamifying information security in the sense that you are always trying to achieve a higher score. The more hardening you perform on your endpoints, the better score you receive. This generally tends to give you a better peace of mind, but also makes you secure at the same time.""It's not really visible for the user - which is a benefit.""Within its class I think, it has a high and decent detection rate.""Its simplicity is the most valuable. It also has very good integration. We like it.""Its real-time security is the most valuable.""The detection features are valuable, as is the fact that it is easier to port these logs into Sentinel. That is also useful for us. It is more comprehensive.""In my opinion, the most valuable aspects are the reporting analytics and integration with Sentinel. Defender does an excellent job of correlating the different entities that comprise threat analysis, analytics data, and log analytics. It helps to piece together investigations into any exploit or malicious activity within a specific tenant. AI and analytics tools are probably the most valuable components."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Pros →

"The search features help us try to correlate information and identify any suspicious activity.""I appreciate the value of real-time activity monitoring.""It helps a lot to understand where the threat is coming from, where is it going, how is it being dealt with, et cetera.""The zero-day vulnerability is valuable.""I like the workbench. It is a view of all the alerts or problems in your estate. The visibility that it provides to engineers is very useful. It is one thing having lots of alerts. It is another thing to have something to correlate all your alerts into a workbench for you so that you can see what is going on.""The proactive approach is the best feature.""VisionOne offers a clear window into the security posture of our endpoints.""We can scale the product as needed."

More Trend Vision One Pros →

Cons
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""ZTNA can improve latency.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""The solution is not stable.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The initial setup can be a bit complex.""Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky.""Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by making the reporting better.""They can improve it on the online protection front since people nowadays are moving online and working from home.""The solution could always be more secure.""In terms of improvement, they update the platform it seems quite a bit. Every month something is in a new spot or something changed somewhere. There should be less of that.""The solution could improve by providing more integration.""The file scanning has room for improvement. Many people use macros within their files, so there should be a mechanism that helps us to scan them for malicious payloads."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Cons →

"I would like to have the capability to export the information we receive from the XDR into Microsoft Excel.""It would be better if it were more user-friendly. It would also be better if the implementation were more straightforward.""The zero trust is a bit complicated compared to other parts of the solution.""In new versions I would like to see better implementation of the reporting features, especially in regards to EDR visibility.""The automation capabilities on-premises could be improved, as we currently have to manually activate servers and push policies.""The agent system is very slow, it needs to improve its performance.""While the continuous addition of features is commendable, the sheer volume of changes makes it difficult to stay abreast of the latest developments.""The product needs to have a lot more maturity, and they need to improve the overall technical support framework for getting the value out of XDR."

    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.
