We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is stable and scalable.""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 product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""The setup is pretty simple."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X. We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization.""Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities.""It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive.""The solution has very good usability.""The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability.""Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

More Intercept X Endpoint Pros →

"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP).""Able to quarantine any malware.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights.""Performance is very good.""It can be managed from the cloud.""Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too.""The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."

More Trend Micro ServerProtect Pros →

Cons
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""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.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention.""The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities.""The policies could be nicer to manage.""The security is good but the feature set is limited.""In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit.""I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one.""It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee.""We had some initial problems with our deployment, and they were more around uninstalling Sophos Basic and installing Sophos Intercept X. We had some challenges with some of the uninstallation scripts. They can improve the deployment of Sophos Intercept X when there is already an existing Sophos version. They can also provide more information in the form of best practices and lessons learned from previous findings. A knowledge base with this type of information would be helpful."

More Intercept X Endpoint Cons →

"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive.""Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique.""There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions.""I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email.""We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming.""Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system.""No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions.""Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."

    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.

Intercept X with XDR includes anti-ransomware technology that detects malicious encryption processes and shuts them down before they can spread across your network. It prevents both file-based and master boot record ransomware.
