We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""This is stable and scalable.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""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""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful.""The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management.""It's a very easy-to-use product.""The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it.""It's stable and reliable.""The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station.""They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment.""Containment is the best feature of the solution."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection Pros →

"The most useful feature is endpoint security.""The solution has multiple modules within a single agent deployment.""The next-generation antivirus features are excellent.""One of the most valuable features of Trend Micro Smart Protection is the integration with other solutions.""The tool will query the information from the cloud to identify suspicious or malicious files that can be a threat. It will provide you with real-time updates on the latest and ongoing attacks and malware information.""It is a stable solution.""Trend Micro has consistently been recognized as a leader for endpoint security on Gartner, which has been our top priority. Based on my personal experience, we encountered fewer ransomware attacks for Trend Micro customers in Sri Lanka.""The most valuable features are the behavior monitoring, behavior analysis, and web reputation service."

Cons
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""The support needs improvement.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories.""Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine.""The menu could be cleaned up.""The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions.""They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out.""We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers.""There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords.""There could be MDRM features added to the product."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection Cons →

"It does not provide insights into what is being done.""There are no data loss prevention features.""Some functionalities within the DLP can be improved.""There is room for improvement to make it better for customers.""I've not explored all of the features up to now. I still need to see all of the features implemented first to be able to see if anything is missing. However, as of right now, it's working very well for us.""The solution could be more stable and secure.""We were considering switching to SentinalOne because it has pre-detection, and Trend Micro does not offer this; it's something the solution should add.""In the next release, I would like to see a combination of the different features from Apex One and OfficeScan in Trend Micro Smart, rather than as upgraded features."

    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.

    Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) delivers patent-pending auto-containment, where unknown executables and other files that request runtime privileges are automatically run in a virtual contain that does not have access to the host system's resources or user data.
