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."The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"I would like to see improvements made so that we can better see all of the processes."
"Report generation can be improved."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"The support is poor."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
