Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup is pretty simple.""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 stability is very good.""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""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."

"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior.""CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats.""It's pretty unintrusive""It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good.""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.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."

More CylanceOPTICS Pros →

"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events.""The solution is scalable.""It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."

More Trellix Active Response Pros →

Cons
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""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'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""Detections could be improved.""The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected.""The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions""The product's technical support is slow.""The detection component is something that they have to work on.""Too many false positives are reported.""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.""The product's initial setup process could be easy."

More CylanceOPTICS Cons →

"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues.""There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't.""I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."

    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.

    Continuous Visibility into Your Endpoints:
    Capture and monitor events, files, host flows, process objects, context, and system state changes that may be indicators of attack or dormant attack components.

    Identify and Remediate Breaches Faster:
    Access tools you need to quickly correct security issues. Send intelligence to analytics, operations, and forensic teams.

    Target Critical Threats:
    Get preconfigured and customizable actions when triggered, so you can target and eliminate threats.
