Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
 

Cons

"The SIEM could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"The pricing is good."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The pricing is high."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"It is relatively cheap."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
