Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 stability is very good.""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.""Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."

"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful.""Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes.""The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know.""It has the best live response feature.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin.""It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis.""The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product.""The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful.""It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution.""Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role).""It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses.""Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate.""The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present.""I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

Cons
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud.""The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""The SIEM could be improved.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products.""Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert.""There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved.""A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts.""Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​""Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes.""Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming.""CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Cons →

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI.""One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot.""The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked.""We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers.""I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously.""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 is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention.""An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
  • "There are no issues with the pricing."
  • "The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
  • "The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
  • "I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
  • "The pricing is good."
  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
  • More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
  • "Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
  • "We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
  • "Work on a price tier plan."
  • "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."
  • "I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
  • "The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
  • "The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

    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.
