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."he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features."
"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."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"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."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
