Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"It’s easy to use."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The stability has been great."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"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."
"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"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"Detections could be improved."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The tool is expensive."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The user interface on the central server could be improved."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"The solution lacks device control."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
