Featured Reviews

Anoop K Jayan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened endpoint protection for on-premise networks and supported migration to Linux environments
What really stands out in Fortinet FortiEDR is that we are integrating it with some private clouds at the customer's premises with secure SD-WAN networks. I don't know how much it contributes to this SD-WAN network in the own premises cloud solution, but that is what we are doing. This is especially relevant for government projects where the SD-WAN solution is within their private network, not touching the Internet or any other access. Their first requirement is centralized management. Additionally, they need antivirus updates and other things to be done through a centralized platform within that private cloud. That is their requirement, and currently, we temporarily allow internet access, but it is not preferred. We are moving towards a complete air gap, providing full isolation from the internet for that. We have started to work with machine learning capabilities in Fortinet FortiEDR. We are not that well-versed yet, but we have begun using machine learning for intrusion detection and other purposes. Regarding forensic analysis in Fortinet FortiEDR, it is useful in understanding attack vectors because our projects are based on the voice side, such as cloud PBX solutions and call center management. There are media activities and many attacks coming from the outside, as well as vulnerabilities from endpoints. In those cases, we need detailed analysis through an AI platform to inspect how these attacks are coming. We also require a proactive protection mechanism, including an alarm system for threat detection before attacks occur.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
 

Cons

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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 solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"I will have my team provide more details about disadvantages via email later."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I will have my team provide more details about disadvantages via email later."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution costs less than 10,000 for 100 users."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"The pricing is good."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"It is relatively cheap."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The pricing is high."
"Work on a price tier plan."
