Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.

Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency
ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"The solution's most valuable features are the investigation tab and the granular control that Fortinet provides."
"It's easy to configure and integrate the solution with the current network because it is used by Fortinet clients."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It is stable and scalable."
"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"I like their customer support."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
 

Cons

"When I implemented FortiEDR, it identified Cisco AnyConnect VPN as malicious data, which led to the VPN being cut off. Consequently, people could not work remotely from home."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I did face some challenges using Fortinet FortiEDR, especially in the Mac environment. While the detections work well in Windows, Mac has limitations. If I need to configure something in the Mac environment, I have to open a support ticket because I can't do it myself; the support team has to apply the configurations on the backend."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."

"The solution is not expensive."

"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."

"The price could be better."
