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."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."

"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It can scale as well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"Detections could be improved."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"The solution should offer more security surrounding blacklisted websites."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features. Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
