We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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 solution was relatively easy to deploy.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"Singularity's rollback feature is one of the primary reasons we bought the product. If there's an attack on the machine, the system can automatically roll back the data and the hard drive of the machine that was attacked.""Deep Visibility is a valuable feature.""The product is a lighter client. Our previous solution ran heavy on the workstation and caused performance issues.""SentinelOne Singularity has hundreds of features. The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use and threat control.""The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features.""In incidents, SentinelOne's remediation is excellent; we can immediately see if the threat type is dynamic or static.""Previously, we had some processes related to incident response which required more steps. We needed to upload to VirusTotal, Sandbox, et cetera. Now, this process is shortened because all of the information we need is already in SentinelOne. We can briefly analyze and even respond from one management console. If someone has SOC, using the API, they can control everything. It's very cool. I think this is the future.""Their platform is really easy to work with."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Pros →

"It helped us consolidate all our solutions into an easy tool to use for various employees.""It has reduced the time to resolution, time to investigate, and time to troubleshoot for debugging issues.""It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most.""It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar.""The fact that Splunk is a platform and not just a SIEM solution is a key benefit.""On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures.""We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk.""The most valuable feature of Splunk is the log monitoring."

More Splunk Enterprise Security Pros →

Cons
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""The support needs improvement.""ZTNA can improve latency.""The SIEM could be improved.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"I would appreciate seeing the browser extension react more effectively to events, going beyond mere detection.""The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space.""If there is a vulnerability that we know about, I search for that vulnerability—for example, Adobe. There are different versions of Adobe, but I'm not able to compile them into one report. I have to create separate reports for those versions.""There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools.""It has all the features that other leading products in the market provide. They should keep enhancing it based on the challenges in the market. I am fine with its detection capability, but they can work more on deep inspection.""The speed of investigation of the MDR service team must be improved.""The grouping feature needs improvement.""Initially, when we first deployed the solution, it caused some third-party connectivity issues."

More SentinelOne Singularity Complete Cons →

"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better.""The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment.""The analytics of Splunk could be improved.""It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance.""The Web Application Firewall will send you too much information because it's more dedicated to security than a normal firewall.""If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well.""Technical support needs to be more responsive.""Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jeff D. who is an Operations Manager at Proton Dealership IT, tells us that "The detection rate for Sentinel One has been excellent and we have been able to resolve many potential threats with zero client impact. The ability to deploy via our RMM allows us to quickly secure new clients and provides peace of mind."

    "The most valuable feature varies from client to client but having absolute clarity of what happened and the autonomous actions of SentinelOne are what most people find the most assuring." relates Rae J., Director IR and MDR at a tech services company.
