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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The solution's most valuable features are the investigation tab and the granular control that Fortinet provides."
"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"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."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Speed"
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
 

Cons

"The solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"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."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"The solution costs less than 10,000 for 100 users."
"Offered at a high price"
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"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."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
