Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""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.""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.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy."

"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.""It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good.""It's pretty unintrusive""The solution has a high level of trust in the industry.""Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior.""The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats.""It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment.""The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."

More CylanceOPTICS Pros →

"The user-friendliness of Sangfor Endpoint Secure is particularly impressive. Even with basic technical knowledge, users can easily navigate the system, make changes, and implement updates.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""What stands out to me is the dual-end user interface they provide.""The tool's most valuable features are control access, endpoint security, and load balancing of ISPs.""We use the product for network protection from any malicious threat.""Sangfor Endpoint Secure has some good policy certificates.""The most valuable feature I have found in the system is its comprehensive end-to-end protection."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure Pros →

Cons
"Detections could be improved.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""The solution is not stable.""ZTNA can improve latency.""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.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console.""Too many false positives are reported.""The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive.""The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions""The reporting is very weak and not very good at all.""CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction.""Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected.""The detection component is something that they have to work on."

More CylanceOPTICS Cons →

"It is complicated to establish a tunnel due to technical issues in the VPN system.""There are a few areas for improvement. We have encountered licensing issues on occasion, and sometimes updates don't apply properly.""It would be much more convenient if the migration tool could be installed directly on the customer's VMs, enabling a smoother migration process to the new infrastructure, with potential restrictions addressed accordingly.""Sometimes, the VPN is not secure and doesn't work properly in Sangfor Endpoint Secure.""Currently, the tool lacks reporting functionalities.""I believe Sangfor Endpoint Secure could improve in terms of its user interface and management capabilities.""Sangfor Endpoint Secure performs poorly."

    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.

    Our cloud-native BlackBerry® Optics provide visibility, on-device threat detection and remediation across your organization. In milliseconds. And our EDR approach effectively and efficiently hunts threats while eliminating response latency. It’s the difference between a minor security event—and one that’s widespread and uncontrolled.

    Sangfor Endpoint Secure utilizes a different approach to defending systems from malware and APT threats compared to current next-generation Anti-virus (NGAV) or endpoint detection & response (EDR) solutions.
    Endpoint Secure provides a holistic response to malware infections and APT breaches across the entire organization's network, with ease of management, operation, and maintenance. The solution is scalable to meet the needs of any organization needing on-premise management, cloud management, or a hybrid solution when it comes to endpoint security, protection, detection, and response.
