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…

Offers strong, all-around cybersecurity but is expensive
Installing Trend Micro Smart Protection is typically easy, but it can be tricky if you have another antivirus that must be removed first. A cloud solution is a better option as it simplifies the process by only requiring an endpoint connection to the console, ensuring safety and ease of deployment. Deploying Trend Micro Smart Protection usually takes just a few minutes. It involves preparing an SQL table, checking the environment for optimal performance, and ensuring no conflicting antivirus solutions exist. Once that is done, deploying it is as simple as running a script. We have a team of eight engineers who maintain the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The failure rate is very low."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"This solution is stable."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Smart Protection is automatic scanning."
"Product-wise, it is amazing. It includes DLP, vulnerability management, and application whitelisting features. These features are very good and add value in selling this solution to our customers. These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and secure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are ransomware protection, device control, and DLP."
"We haven't had any compatibility issues. It's quite stable and it's a good tool in preventing actual viruses or malware."
"The stability is good and I like the level of performance I can get."
"The configuration is easy."
"It is their most comprehensive endpoint protection solution. It includes DLP and Office 365. It also includes device control and the rest of the little bells and whistles that the traditional AV vendors have."
 

Cons

"The support needs improvement."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"The solution could be more secure."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"When I do a malware scan on my computer it takes a long while. This process could improve in the future. Additionally, the security could improve."
"In the next release, I would like to see a combination of the different features from Apex One and OfficeScan in Trend Micro Smart, rather than as upgraded features."
"I want the tool to provide the solutions integrated within it to have regular updates. Currently, the solutions integrated with Smart Protection get updates from the cloud. I want to minimize the download from the cloud."
"This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection is a very system-intensive product, and it would be better if it could be made less burdensome on the resources."
"It is onsite. It does have its challenges in terms of scalability."
"It does not provide insights into what is being done."
"This product is not very simple and in fact, kind of hard for some people to understand."
"The web filtering could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"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."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"The tool is expensive."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"There is an annual subscription license on it. In the next release, there might be monthly payment options. So, people might be able to get it through AWS in the future, but right now for on-prem, it is annual."
"In terms of licensing cost, it falls within the average range compared to competitors, almost 7 out of 10."
"This solution provides good value for the price."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection is more costly than competitor solutions"
"The cost seems competitive."
"Whether something is affordable or pricy, is relative. It depends on the value an institution has attached to a capability. For us, security is a premium requirement, I can't say a solution is pricey if we are able to afford it and run it for seven years, I would say it's affordable."
"In terms of pricing, in comparison to products like Kaspersky, Trend Micro's price might appear higher. However, this elevated cost can be rationalized due to the extensive features and detection engines that Trend Micro provides. The price may be a challenge for countries with economic conditions like Sri Lanka. If there was reasonable pricing for Sri Lanka, it would be a plus point."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
