We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""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.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""It is stable and scalable.""It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."

"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus.""The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete.""The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration.""You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines.""I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that.""The solution is very scalable.""The product provides a single dashboard.""The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Pros →

"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service.""Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC.""I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed.""It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them.""It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry.""It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things.""While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial.""Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."

More Huntress Pros →

Cons
"ZTNA can improve latency.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""The solution is not stable.""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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""Detections could be improved.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil.""We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it.""The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake.""Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't.""The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved.""There is room for improvement in CPU utilization.""I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes.""The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Cons →

"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures.""The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications.""We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports.""I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365.""The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm.""I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there.""Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved.""The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

    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.
