Valuable for remote work security and enhances endpoint protection effectively
At my last job, we used FortiEDR to secure endpoints for 8,000 employees across MacBooks and Linux machines, ensuring the protection of backups and VPN connections. In 2020, we faced a significant challenge with remote work in Brazil, where BitLocker was utilized. FortiEDR proved invaluable as it…

Powerful, real-time monitoring, secure, and reasonably priced
ESET's main goal is to create lightweight, highly configurable products with a high detection rate. Sometimes it can be overwhelming for customers to have such a vast area of possibilities for configuring and ways to solve problems in the implementation or exploitation of ESET software. Customers like easy-to-use solutions with not much servicing under the hood, and that's perfectly fine. We all like the administration where software does it all by itself, but that's not possible in the area of IT security. The vendor's job is to provide easy-of-use, but not to jeopardize the abbility to configure protection to the smallest details. ESET successfully maintains that perfect balance through the years, and with exceptionally good technical support, you can find answers to every question.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The rules are the best and most useful features."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."
"Rules are the most valuable feature of ESET Inspect. They are created through XML language, and they track and filter events from endpoints. If the event matches the rule, the rule is triggered. Exceptions are the second most valuable feature because it gives you the power to filter false positives in large numbers. The third most valuable feature is the Learning mode that facilitates making exceptions for known processes with a good reputation."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
 

Cons

"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The platform's price could be better."
"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."
"The solution could improve the consumption of resources. The RAM and CPU usage increases during usage which can cause issues. We have three separate services and it would be beneficial if all were executed from one agent limiting the over usage of system resources."
"The product is complex to configure, and there are too many errors that are not errors, making it an area that can be considered for improvement."
"Every vendor is working on making the job of SOC analysts easier, with fewer false positives and more precise detections. ESET uses LiveGrid technology that provides feedback on the reputation of files and operations. It's hard to eliminate all of the false positives, but hopefully, we'll see some improvement with the advances in AI."
"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
 

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 pricing is good."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"Offered at a high price"
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."
"The pricing and licensing are the big issue now, in my opinion. If the price was less than other companies, or a one-time charge for service was available, I think there would be more users of this solution."
"This is true in the case of licensing, we do not have the most expensive products, and we don't have the cheapest product, it's somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a little higher from the middle, but we are known for what we provide to our customers, and they are pleased."
"I feel it is a very expensive product."
"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
