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."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."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The protection that this solution offers us is strong."
"The solution is useful for security purposes."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."
"It significantly speeds up incident response times by alerting analysts immediately upon detecting potential issues."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Technical support is excellent."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"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 user interface is not responsive."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"The solution lacks technical support."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"This solution works well but needs lots of tuning and optimization."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The product's stability could be improved."
