We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet FortiClient based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"It 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"
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Detections could be improved."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
