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…

A scalable and easy-to-deploy product that provides excellent security and vulnerability assessment features
We use the solution for endpoint protection, device control, site management, and centralized manageability The product provides complete visibility of users and their access control. The solution has some impact on our system performance, but it does not interfere with my day-to-day jobs. It is…

Pretty straightforward and good integration but does not offer good technical support
The solution is specifically used at the endpoints. We do a lot of integrations with various clients.  A single agent can cover multiple units. The installation is pretty straightforward.  The solution can integrate into other products. The solution is not really stable.  Every time we open a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This solution is stable."
"The solution is secure."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"When comparing Kaspersky Endpoint Security to any other solution, Our customers like mostly the reliability, and the ability to defend against viruses, worms, and attacks. It is easy to use and very light on the end-user machine's resources."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The tool's interface is good."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The solution is stable."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs 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."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
