Pros
"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 is very user-friendly for customers.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device.""I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs.""It is very easy to configure and deploy.""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.""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 solution is very scalable.""Protection is the most valuable feature.""When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"Technical support is knowledgeable.""The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good.""The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication.""RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility.""Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files.""They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in.""The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use.""This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

Cons
"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.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""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 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.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The dashboard can be improved.""The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement.""My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem.""The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control.""We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it.""Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil.""The solution's stability could be better.""There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Cons →

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration.""The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint.""We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues.""The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge.""The contamination feature could be improved.""Threat detection could be better.""When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something.""NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."

  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
  • "Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
  • "There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."

It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
  • "The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

    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.
