The rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great
We use Fortinet firewalls for perimeter security at six to seven of our locations It provides extreme perimeter security, especially for VPN and application profiles, and seamless security monitoring through FortiAnalyzer. As a firewall the solution is great, we never had any issues. We saw time…

Monitors our devices irrespective of the location and the environment, allows us to exempt certain machines from certain patches, and has perfect patch management abilities
The fact that it is pretty much hands-off is most valuable. Basically, you set up your policies and give it free rein, and it just does its thing. They've been adding some new features lately, which I'm not nearly as familiar with, but the ability to just deploy patches and exempt certain machines from certain patches is helpful. For instance, for our servers, we may not want to roll out zero-day patches. We are able to exempt those and make sure that they don't get those policies. We've got certain servers that have to run a particular version of Java, and being able to exempt those servers from receiving Java updates is pretty fantastic. Its patch management abilities are perfect. We've gone through probably five different solutions in the past 10 years. Automox is the only one that we've found that we can just set and then forget. It simply works. It is the best. Its speed in carrying out functions is good. We've never experienced any performance issues. We've never noticed any delays. If we have to do a manual update, when we click update, within moments, we can tell that our computers are being updated. The actual UI is quick. Navigating between menus is seamless, and the actual communication between the console and the clients is seemingly instant as well. So, everything is as fast and quick as it can be. It doesn't require much brainpower to navigate the UI and to figure out how to update. Building schedules and different groups is very intuitive. It is just a matter of a few checkboxes, and they've got great examples already in the software when you first get hold of it. Their support staff is fantastic in helping you get those configured if you do have any questions, but the likelihood of you needing that is pretty minimal. It is built to make sense. It is very simple to set up policies using Automox. They've got several sample policies that are actually out there when you get access to the portal. The process is very simple. They've already got the samples out there, and it is so easy to duplicate them and modify them the way you want. It is just a matter of clicking a few checkboxes. It does not take much at all.

Helps consolidate security solutions, reduce alerts, and free up staff time
SentinelOne Singularity Complete boasts good interoperability. It has helped consolidate some of our security solutions. While the number of security alerts we receive has been successfully reduced, it has occasionally missed some threats. To address this, we have implemented Microsoft Defender alongside SentinelOne for additional protection. This layered approach has identified several malware incidents that SentinelOne, due to its limitations at the kernel level, did not detect. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has to an extent helped free up our staff time to focus on other tasks. In conjunction with Defender and Automox 60 to 70% of time has been saved. Our mean time to detect has been successfully reduced by 70%. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our mean time to respond to threats it detects by providing informative feedback from malware reviews. Our costs have been reduced because we use it daily. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has reduced our organization's risk by 80%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Coming from prior solutions that were a lot more effort, Automox's patch management abilities are transformational. When I took over patching at my company, they were using on-premise architecture to patch. As the workforce shifted from being in the office into their home offices, I was able to lift and shift with no effort other than deploying the new agent out into the environment."
"They've been adding some new features lately, which I'm not nearly as familiar with, but the ability to just deploy patches and exempt certain machines from certain patches is helpful. For instance, for our servers, we may not want to roll out zero-day patches. We are able to exempt those and make sure that they don't get those policies. We've got certain servers that have to run a particular version of Java, and being able to exempt those servers from receiving Java updates is pretty fantastic."
"The fact that it's just one product that can patch multiple operating systems is really great."
"The flexibility in creating tools to make changes on remote machines is most valuable to me. The reporting feature is also fantastic because on any given day I can bring up a list of machines that don't have patches, for example. Or I can bring up a list of machines that are in my environment on a certain day. The solution helps me with not only my own role, and what I look for internally myself, but it also helps during audits. I can go in and look at the number of machines in there, and their owners and timelines. It certainly helps tell a story for anything that IT requires."
"Previously, we would run a report, scan it, and compare it. We were spending 15 to 30 minutes a month on each machine on this stuff because you would find stuff that wasn't up to date, then you had to fix it. This solution takes that time down to minutes. Automox saves us easily many hours a month."
"Its flexibility is most valuable."
"It's super easy to use and we haven't found anything easier."
"The biggest improvement to our organization involves the reduction in its man hours... We've probably saved hundreds of hours."
"All of the features are valuable. The way that it integrates into management with fault correction capabilities over is especially valuable. Any of the full gamut of the features that it provides are useful to us."
"Sentinel One has improved our organization by protecting the environment we are working in."
"The hunting feature is most valuable for detecting malicious or suspicious activity."
"It provides network and asset visibility for us."
"It has a one-click button that we can use to reverse all those dodgy changes made by the virus program and bring the system quickly back to what it was. That's one of the most important features."
"SentinelOne also provides equal protection across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I have all of them and every flavor of them you could possibly imagine. They've done a great job because I still have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support. It can support legacy environments as well as newer environments, including all the latest OS's... There are cost savings not only on licensing but because I don't have to have different people managing different consoles."
"It is purely cloud-based, meaning you don't need to have something installed, such as a server on-prem. You have cloud management and can access it from anywhere, with integration with SSO, with one click. It's also very lightweight."
"The Storyline feature has significantly affected our incident response time. Originally, what would take us hours, now it takes us several minutes."
 

Cons

"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We would like to see additional detailed reporting for Service providers like us. We had to build our own reports via their APIs to meet our needs."
"They need to improve the automation features."
"The only thing that we've ever truly wanted is an onsite repository. Currently, all updates are provided directly from the internet. So, if you have 1,000 devices, all 1,000 devices go directly out to the internet. We would love the option of being able to put the updates on local storage so that we're not consuming as much bandwidth. That is literally the only thing that we've ever wanted."
"As concerns the patching concepts, there's a bit of a learning curve in terms of working out how Automox wants you to work within the console, not only splitting up everything into groups, but then having the various policies assigned."
"There should be better inventory capabilities. Right now, they only allow you to have insight into software out-of-the-box. It would be nice to also extend that into custom inventory that can be modified and managed by the practitioner."
"The stability has come a long way from what it was like when it started and now it's really good."
"It should have integrated workstation access. So, there should be a remote desktop feature."
"Asset management would be a great feature to add to Automox. We would run easier scripts or more out of the box scripts that would help us in audits. \"
"There should be Terraform support for console administration. Dynamic tagging would be also useful."
"The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space."
"The endpoint firewall capability is fairly primitive and basic."
"We'd like to have a network map or scan to cover network security."
"The learning curve was a little steep."
"It primarily operates on local machines, monitoring processes, and not always providing detailed insights, relying on external information to determine the nature of a file."
"They can just continue adding more integrations with these big brands and software security products."
"The grouping feature needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The cost is very reasonable compared to the competition."
"The product is a great value."
"There are no additional costs in addition to the extended licensing fees with Automox. You get your support and your per endpoint license with what you purchased."
"Its licensing for a year was nine grand. There was no additional fee."
"We are on the premium licensing, which is the one that has the API capability that we use."
"The pricing and licensing costs have been great for us... My advice to others who are evaluating or thinking of implementing Automox is to give it a shot. If a free trial is still available, definitely use it, because it makes life a lot easier."
"Automox just charges us a set amount per user, per month, for using the product. That is very important to us. Because it's a cloud-native solution, you're saving on the cost of hosting an on-premises solution on your servers."
"For all these software tools, it is usually a subscription model. There is a monthly charge that we need to pass along to our clients because we are doing all this for their benefit. It is only a couple of bucks a month per computer, and that is a low enough price point where our clients, without exception, have accepted it, and said, "This is great. We will pay that. It sounds like a worthwhile thing.""
"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."
"The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is cheaper than CrowdStrike but more expensive than any traditional anti-virus solution."
"SentinelOne is more affordable than some competing products, and it's not overly expensive for what you're getting."
"Our licensing fees are about $5 USD per endpoint, per month."
"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."
"We buy the licensing in bulk. From a pricing standpoint, because we buy in bulk, we get very good pricing. Based on its functionality and capabilities, it is well worth the price. I do not think it is at all expensive based on what you get in the solution. We use the complete up to the core. Our pricing is probably a little bit more than somebody who is on the core. In general, it is well worth what you get for the price you pay."
"The license is per user."
