Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability is very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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"
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The solution is stable."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"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"
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
