We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Endpoint and Huntress 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."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."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The ability to detonate a particular problem in a sandbox environment and understand what the effects are, is helpful. We're trying, for example, to determine, when people send information in, if an attachment is legitimate or not. You just have to open it. If you can do that in a secure sandbox environment, that's an invaluable feature. What you would do otherwise would be very risky and tedious."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the IPS and the integration with ISE."
"It provides real-time visibility and control over endpoints, allowing its users to promptly respond to any security incidents and remediate any vulnerabilities."
"For the initial first level of support, we provide it from our side. If there's escalation required, we use Cisco tech for the AMP. And again, they are perfect. I mean, one of the best, compared to any other vendors."
"Secure Endpoint has decreased our time to remediate by providing the tools and the integrations we need so we can quickly look across our entire network, look for those threats, and actually make good decisions."
"The console feature gives a centralized management of what's going on, and if something happens, it gives you an alert. So, that's the most important feature for me."
"I'm only using the AMP (advanced malware protection) which is protecting my file system from all the malicious things that might happen. It should protect all kinds of things that might happen on the servers, things that I cannot see."
"The solution is easy to deploy and applies multi-factor authentication."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I would like to see integration with Cisco Analytics."
"The initial setup is a bit complex because you need to execute existing antiviruses or security software that you have on your device."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"In the next version of this solution, I would like to see the addition of local authentication."
"The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."
"It is not very stable because we have new versions four times a year, which fixes bugs. We had some problems with some deployments."
"It cannot currently block URLs over websites."
"The pricing policy could be more competitive, similar to Cisco's offerings."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
