Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The solution is stable."

"The interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."

"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."

"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"The interface has many issues."
"The GUI could be better."

"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."

"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
