Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable.

"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"The AlienVault solution has enabled us to create a SOC on a budget with smaller than usual staff requirements, offering a wider range of solutions for our customers."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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"
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
