Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."

"It's a plug-and-play solution that works well with other out of box integrations that we have.""The management dashboard is the most valuable feature.""It is easy to manage and install. It has a very nice graphical interface that is very intuitive when end users are using it. You don't have to follow or read a book about 600 pages to have knowledge on how to use it. When SentinelOne is up and running, you can easily find your way.""All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us.""The ability to get queries by pressing the "tab" button is a plus for SentinelOne.""SentinelOne is preferred because of its great features and nominal cost.""The detection rate for Sentinel One has been excellent and we have been able to resolve many potential threats with zero client impact. The ability to deploy via our RMM allows us to quickly secure new clients and provides peace of mind.""The solution offers excellent detection and integration capabilities."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Pros →

"The administration through the cloud is valuable.""The next-generation antivirus features are excellent.""We haven't had any compatibility issues. It's quite stable and it's a good tool in preventing actual viruses or malware.""Trend Micro is easy to use and it has good security features.""Your workstation doesn't slow down, unlike when you use Symantec, for example.""The solution integrates well with other Trend Micro products.""The most valuable features of the solution are ransomware protection, device control, and DLP.""The tool will query the information from the cloud to identify suspicious or malicious files that can be a threat. It will provide you with real-time updates on the latest and ongoing attacks and malware information."

Cons
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation.""The solution is not stable.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""The support needs improvement.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"I would like to have a remote desktop feature added so we can remotely access our endpoints.""One area of SentinelOne that definitely has room for improvement is the reporting. The canned reports are clunky and we haven't been able to pull a lot of good information directly from them.""The ability to integrate this product with an antivirus solution would be welcome. Even consolidation with more security products, like Umbrella networking abilities etc. to provide more on this platform, that would be great.""The false positive rate has room for improvement.""Communication and documentation could be improved.""It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult.""There are features that I would like them to add. They have little to do with endpoint protection, but if they could add encryption and DLP on, it would make it even better.""All they need to do to improve it is for it to grow further. The hackers don't sleep. If the hackers don't sleep, the solution continually needs to be updated. They need to keep ahead of the hackers."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Cons →

"We found an issue on the server-side. Sometimes, it slows down the servers if you install it on the SQL.""No online encryption or cloud services are available for the tool, so my company has to install it mostly in an on-premises environment. Encryption or cloud services need to be made available in the product.""The solution should improve its mobile management solution.""It does not provide insights into what is being done.""I've not explored all of the features up to now. I still need to see all of the features implemented first to be able to see if anything is missing. However, as of right now, it's working very well for us.""The solution's device control options are not too beneficial.""This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it.""I cannot recall noticing any missing features."

    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.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jeff D. who is an Operations Manager at Proton Dealership IT, tells us that "The detection rate for Sentinel One has been excellent and we have been able to resolve many potential threats with zero client impact. The ability to deploy via our RMM allows us to quickly secure new clients and provides peace of mind."
