We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 is very user-friendly for customers."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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 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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"The service is centralized."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"It’s easy to use."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The solution is not stable."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
