Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""This is stable and scalable.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on.""Great technical support staff.""It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything.""The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware.""Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it.""The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily.""The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine.""The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 Pros →

"The web control and the application control are two good features.""The most valuable feature is data loss prevention.""It is a scalable platform.""Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint.""It's very light on the endpoints.""The most valuable feature is the central administration and management.""The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection.""The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."

More Sophos EPP Suite Pros →

Cons
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller.""ZTNA can improve latency.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage.""Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved.""The implementation was difficult.""Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message.""The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe.""We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software.""Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company.""Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 Cons →

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion.""The logging issues must be fixed.""If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use.""The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors.""The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset.""Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources.""We use cloud services quite a bit. Therefore, I would like to see integration with other security tools besides endpoint so that I'm not managing different tools separately. I would prefer to have a single security solution for my laptop and for managing other security things like passwords.""Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."

    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.
