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 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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"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 solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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"
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
