I've previously worked with solutions from Palo Alto and Check Point before switching to FortiEDR.

We didn't need to explore alternative products on the market, as we already had a partial setup in place.

Fortinet FortiEDR was installed before I joined my organization but it was a good choice.

We considered CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender. Cost was a factor, and we were interested in the potential integration with FortiGate firewalls. However, that integration didn't work out as smoothly as expected.

We evaluated Palo Alto Networks. However, we felt that they did not have the entire suite of analytics that I was looking for. Fortinet, on the other hand, seems to have a more diversified offering in this area.

We were using a demo for both Fortinet FortiEDR and SentinelOne. We were doing PoC on both to see which one we wanted to use.

We wanted to see the differences between them and Cylance.

I evaluated Palo Alto and Check Point firewalls. Fortinet is user-friendly.

I am still in the process of comparing Fortinet FortiEDR to Cisco, and till now, I have found Fortinet FortiEDR to be an easier tool to use.

Yes:

Carbon Black - Too much noise and time to configure policy. Also, it had too many disparate components to manage/up-sell.

Tanium - Would not talk to us, because we are under 5000 endpoints.

Cylance - Not mature enough at the time of our initial purchase in early 2016.

Confer - Lots of promise, but got purchased by Carbon Black.
