Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""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""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive.""The patches on offer are very helpful.""The product is user-friendly.""The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources.""The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI.""Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution.""After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works.""Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."

More Intercept X Endpoint Pros →

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning.""The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good.""I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control.""The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls.""The convenience has been great.""There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management.""The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well.""Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security Pros →

Cons
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers.""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.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Detections could be improved.""ZTNA can improve latency.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle.""The problem is that if you have a lot of different components going on, each managed under a different umbrella, then you're going to be spending a lot of time hopping back and forth between the different components to see, "Well, I got hit here. What did my firewall see? I got hit in the firewall, the firewall says it allowed that attack in, did it land on anything to compromise any of my endpoints?"""Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources.""The integration has room for improvement, especially with Mac OS.""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 technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product.""The performance is very slow and should be faster.""Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."

More Intercept X Endpoint Cons →

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less.""I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market.""Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP.""The cost of the solution can be improved.""The pricing could be a bit lower.""When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device.""In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control.""The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

    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.
