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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
