We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Forescout Platform 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."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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"Vulnerability remediation is valuable. We can narrow down a system and its properties. We can go granular on the properties of each endpoint, such as which operating system you're using."
"It's one of the tools that has given the federal government visibility into network devices and everything."
"We use the Forescout Platform for device visibility and control in our network. It's very helpful for tracking malicious or unusual activity. We use it to track which ports are open, which machines are running specific services, and to identify vulnerabilities. For example, there was a vulnerability related to SMB, and we could use the product to determine which machines inside our organization were allowing SMB traffic."
"The user interface is quite simple."
"It allows for good detection of all the vendor products we have on-site."
"The scalability is good."
"This solution can be used to organize guest portals, integrate switches, and create policies. Some of its standard use cases also include completing key process upgrades and anti-virus of Windows OS."
"Forescout Platform is stable, it is great."
"Detections could be improved."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"It would be ideal if they had a migration tool of some sort."
"I would like to see more automation."
"The solution could improve VPN functionality and the VPN user-interface."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"It does not support the TACACS+ protocol."
"The solution needs more definitive pricing. The costs are hard to nail down."
"More detailed analysis during the authentication process, especially for troubleshooting access issues. We have found that troubleshooting RADIUS controls is quite arduous, as it is today. A trace function could easily resolve this by providing a means by which access issues from a certificate to passwords or accounts could easily be identified and remediated."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Forescout needs to upgrade its development in the future."
"Forescout Platform could improve the costs of integrations."
"Forescout Platform could improve the vulnerability management as well as the control on the endpoint, which needs to be connected to my network."
"Forescout Platform sometimes returns false positives, so there's some fine-tuning to be done there."
