Pros
"It is stable and scalable.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""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.""This is stable and scalable.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers.""The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash.""The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards.""ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support.""I like the indexing of the logs.""The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good.""Elastic Security is very easy to adapt.""The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."

More Elastic Security Pros →

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the solution's technical support team a nine and a half or ten out of ten.""The biggest strength of the solution is that it's an integrated product that includes EDR and antivirus.""If there is any malicious behavior in the workstation or server, the tool stops or isolates it automatically and generates alerts.""The product's initial setup phase was very straightforward since you just need to install it, and it works.""What we're using the most and what we found valuable in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response are Web Control, Advanced Threat Protection, and Threat Prevention features.""Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offers endpoint protection and helps collect information while also allowing users to investigate malicious files in an IT environment...It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to isolate or quarantine devices and block or detect Ransomware and other well-known tools that are used to exploit vulnerabilities on devices.""This is a stable product."

Cons
"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.""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.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""ZTNA can improve latency.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use.""The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it.""If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution.""The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like.""This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage.""We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10.""Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean.""The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side."

More Elastic Security Cons →

"The solution lacks the ability to integrate with external platforms. In future releases of the solution, I would like to see the solution increase its integration capabilities with external platforms.""For Spanish users, it is necessary to have a knowledge base specifically designed for them, which is currently not available.""The console has a lot of bugs, and it creates many issues.""The technical support must be improved.""The solution's downside stems from the fact that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint are not combined into a single solution, so from an improvement perspective, they need to be combined into a single solution.""Trellix does not support Linux and Mac.""Some modules that are doing machine learning and artificial intelligence are blocking our processes.""The endpoints and utilization are too high, which impacts the production activity."

    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.
