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 firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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"
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"This is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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 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."
"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."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Speed"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The support needs improvement."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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"
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
