We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The price is low and quite competitive with others.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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 stability is very good."

"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process.""The ease of deployment is a valuable feature.""Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."

More SECDO Platform Pros →

"The solution is stable.""I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.""Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total.""It is stable and easy to set up.""What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process.""The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product.""Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading.""The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."

Cons
"ZTNA can improve latency.""I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""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.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it.""The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market.""Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."

More SECDO Platform Cons →

"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts.""Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use.""The product's stability could be improved.""In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers.""The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security.""Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours.""But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly.""The pricing could be more reasonable."

  • "There are no issues with the pricing."
  • "The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."

  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
  • "The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • More SECDO Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    SECDO enables security teams to identify and remediate incidents fast. Using thread-level endpoint monitoring and causality analytics, SECDO provides visibility into every endpoint along with the context necessary for understanding whether a suspicious activity is a genuine threat. Unique deception techniques force threats like ransomware out into the open early, and trigger automated containment and remediation.

    SECDO provides the most intuitive investigation experience available so you can quickly unravel complex incidents across the organization.  You can investigate incidents detected by SECDO as well as alerts from the SIEM. SECDO visualizes the attack chain so you immediately understand the “who, what, where, when and how” behind the incident. Then, based on an analysis of exactly how endpoints were compromised, SECDO surgically remediates the incident with minimum user impact.
