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.

One of the most effective features of FortiEDR for our security requirements is its dashboard accessibility. Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance. This has significantly improved our response time, which is crucial given our primary focus on healthcare IT and the stringent regulations such as GDPR. The data we handle is highly sensitive, making robust agent-based active monitoring and protection, along with the mitigation setup, invaluable features that we truly appreciate.

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 solution is very secure compared to other vendors.

The best features depends on the customer. Our primary goal is to our customers. Mostly our customers use this as an endpoint solution for the workstations and really find it quite effective.
The stability is very good.
It is scalable.
The solution is pretty straightforward to set up.
View full review »We chose FortiEDR because we were looking for a robust EDR solution. One thing that appealed to us was the potential integration with our FortiGate firewalls.
We hoped to mitigate threats and stop the traffic by having the firewall and EDR work together, but this wasn't straightforward out-of-the-box. It needs specific configuration which hasn't been done yet. That was a bit unexpected.
Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture. Our clients are happy with the solution.

We like the ransomware protections. I'm not sure if Fortinet has a phishing feature on the EDR solution, but customers also need it to protect their email accounts.
With Fortinet FortiEDR, the console is available with the product through the vendor network, which takes care of the security part while offering firewall functionalities. The product offers everything in the same console. With Fortinet, The customers do not face any issues when using other resources in the tool since they don't have to handle the consoles separately. With Fortinet, one person or one resource can handle two consoles together.

I would say FortiSIEM, is a good alternative to Splunk.
The focus area for analytics is to tie it into the firewall components within SD-WAN.

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.

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.

It is stable and scalable.
View full review »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.
The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.
View full review »The most valuable features would be the ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration so we can analyze them separately after an incident.
