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."NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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"
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
"I find the main valuable feature to be the antivirus, it is very effective with removing viruses."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The software and hardware inventory that you can create by using the console is valuable. It is also very light on hardware resources."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"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."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
