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…

Light, easy to use, and offers good protection against threats
We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection. It protects end-users and small companies as well It can keep PCs and devices secure. We can see if there are any issues from outside sources or emails that are a threat. We have found we don't have many threats. We can look at the history…

Has a good patching feature, shows you an inventory list for each machine, and the support is good, but reporting needs improvement
What needs improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is the agent or client troubleshooting because it's a little annoying. You need to troubleshoot whenever there's an error. When there's a problem with the agent, you need to reinstall it, and that's annoying. Another area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. A more detailed report about each machine must be added to the solution in the next release. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc. Right now, it's hard to see all the individual machine details. You don't get the complete picture for each machine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"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 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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security is the antivirus for the endpoints."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."
"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."
"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."
 

Cons

"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"Online security could still be improved in ESET Endpoint Antivirus because security is threatened by phishing."
"The management of the solution isn't as clear as it could be. They could adjust that to make it a better product."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"The adware module could be improved."
"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."
"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."
"Its price is fair. If we compare it with any other retail product, it is a little harder to compete with."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"You need to pay for the ESET Endpoint Antivirus license monthly or yearly, whichever you choose."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"Currently, we are running on a three-year license. The pricing might be around $20,000. There aren't any costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The price could be a little lower."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."
