We performed a comparison between Intercept X Endpoint and Tanium 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."The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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 features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"The solution has very good usability."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"They could improve the UI."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
