We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""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.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly""It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM.""The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up.""There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs.""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions.""After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours.""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"

More Fidelis Elevate Pros →

"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""The solution is very stable.""The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis.""The technical support is excellent."

More OpenText EnCase eDiscovery Pros →

Cons
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""The SIEM could be improved.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""The solution is not stable.""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"

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new.""Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex.""Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement.""I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.""There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial.""The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface.""The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."

More Fidelis Elevate Cons →

"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow.""Ease of use and learning curve need improvement.""​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​""There were minor UI bugs.""The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."

    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.

    Fidelis Elevate integrates network visibility, data loss prevention, deception, and endpoint detection and response into one unified solution. Now your security team can focus on the most urgent threats and protect sensitive data rather than spending time validating and triaging thousands of alerts.

    eDiscovery collection tools address the rise in dispersed and remote workforces, the proliferation of mobile devices and new sources of data. Comprehensively collecting data across all data sources, including endpoints, such as desktops and laptops, is critical to defensibility. Collection analytics and culling is key to efficient digital investigations, narrowing the document collection to drive down the cost of legal review.

    With OpenText™ EnCase™ eDiscovery, organizations can streamline the collection, culling and preservation of data across diverse sources in a single efficient process.
