Pros
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""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.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy."

"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories.""The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed.""It is a stable solution.""The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features.""The security engine is effective at catching potential threats.""There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month.""It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication.""It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives.""It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues.""The log correlation is good.""It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users.""Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files.""The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good.""This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

Cons
"The support needs improvement.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better.""The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly.""The solution could be more user-friendly.""Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community.""Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly.""The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

More Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] Cons →

"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training.""The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution.""The contamination feature could be improved.""I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration.""RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration.""The initial setup requires a high level of skill.""When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something.""The solution lacks a reporting engine."

    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.
