Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations.""The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant.""The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data.""I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection.""It has been scalable.""It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability.""There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money.""The technical support is really terrific."

More Digital Guardian Pros →

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily.""It offers an easy initial setup.""It is easy to manage.""Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it.""We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control.""The patch management module is very important.""Their remote management (RMM) is very good."

Cons
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""The solution is not stable.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Detections could be improved.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power.""If the client uses Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft updates the operating system's version, Digital Guardian must update their product to match compatibility.""Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner.""The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel.""The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions.""Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial.""Technical support could be better.""I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."

More Digital Guardian Cons →

"They could have more reports.""The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe.""Their MacOS support isn't that good.""The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues.""The implementation was difficult.""It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection.""They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once.""Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."

    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.
