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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The most valuable aspect lies in its automation capabilities, particularly within security automation."
"The solution's threat protection is mostly AI and machine-learning based. That is the most important feature of the product. It also offers centralized management so I can remotely manage devices."
"The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft."
"Defender is stable enough and is competitive with the other products in the market."
"Its real-time security is the most valuable."
"The threat hunting service is very useful for a security professional."
"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"The solution's main antivirus capabilities are okay. So far, they have kept us safe."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"It is easy to manage."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"The interface is great."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"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 EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

"It could be easier when it comes to managing exceptions."
"There's a lot of manual effort involved to configure what we need."
"I am not sure if I will be using this product in the future because of the price."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by providing more user-friendly dashboards. They may be complicated for some."
"I would like to see integrations with other products, such as Spunk and other CM solutions. That would create possibilities for me, and for a SOC, to consolidate all events in an older console, not one provided by Microsoft but provided by a third party, and use it to create more insights."
"It would be nice to have a paid upgrade that would provide additional screening of the day-to-day activities."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"They could have more reports."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
