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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"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."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"I find all of the features valuable."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The solution scales well."
"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 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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
