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."The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The solution can scale well."
"The biggest improvement has been knowing that something unauthorized isn't going to get installed on anyone’s machines."
"ThreatLocker Allowlisting has all of these features integrated into one console, making it effective."
"Every single feature has been invaluable."
"Application control, ring-fencing, and storage control are the most important features, followed closely by elevation."
"The sandbox functionality is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is probably the ability to block programs from running. ThreatLocker has some built-in features that make it super easy. You can also contact their support within the program. If you're having issues, you can click on that button and connect with someone in five to 10 seconds."
"We use ThreatLocker's Allowlisting to whitelist specific applications and prevent unauthorized software from running."
"While it can be frustrating at times, we appreciate the low-level security provided by the application whitelist."
"The support needs improvement."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The snapshots used in the ThreatLocker University portal are outdated snippets and have not been updated in conjunction with the portal itself."
"One area I see for improvement is in the visibility of support tickets within the ThreatLocker ticketing system."
"There are some times when applications get submitted, the hashes don't really line up."
"If you have a thousand computers with ThreatLocker agents on them, when you approve or create a new policy saying that Adobe Reader that matches this hashtag and meets certain criteria is allowed to be installed, it applies at the top level or the organization level. It applies to every computer in the company. When you make that new policy and push it out and it goes out and updates all of the clients. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not look like they stagger the push-out."
"ThreatLocker could offer more flexible training, like online or offline classes after hours. The fact that they even provide weekly training makes it seem silly to suggest, but some people can't do it during the day, so they want to train after work. They could also start a podcast about issues they see frequently and what requires attention. A podcast would be helpful to keep us all apprised about what's going on and/or offline training for those people who can't train during the week."
"Adding applications to the allowlist can sometimes feel overwhelming."
"From a reporting perspective, enhancing the ability to customize reports would be beneficial."
