Pros
"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.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""The price is low and quite competitive with others."

"It is a very scalable solution.""This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats.""The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources.""All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers.""I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that.""Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key.""The most valuable features are the range and restriction.""This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."

More Intercept X Endpoint Pros →

"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time.""The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network.""The email security feature is really good.""I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features.""The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"

Cons
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""The SIEM could be improved.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Detections could be improved.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates.""It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person.""The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it.""The security is good but the feature set is limited.""Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter.""It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources.""The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing.""I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."

More Intercept X Endpoint Cons →

"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good.""In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system.""Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack.""The solution lacks cloud integrations.""The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."

  • "We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
  • "The price is pretty good."
  • "When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
  • "We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
  • "Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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 customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    Sophos Intercept X Endpoint is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that combines the power of artificial intelligence (AI) with Sophos' deep expertise in cybersecurity to provide unmatched protection against sophisticated cyber threats, including ransomware, malware, exploits, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Sophos Intercept X Endpoint stands out for its innovative approach to endpoint security, leveraging advanced technologies and expert services to provide comprehensive protection. Its focus on prevention, detection, and response, combined with ease of use and scalability, makes it a preferred choice for organizations looking to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

    Deep learning makes Intercept X smarter, more scalable, and more effective against never-seen-before threats. Intercept X leverages deep learning to outperform endpoint security solutions that use traditional machine learning or signature-based detection alone.

    Stop Ransomware in Its Tracks

    Block ransomware attacks before they wreak havoc on your organization. Intercept X with XDR includes anti-ransomware technology that detects malicious encryption processes and shuts them down before they can spread across your network. It prevents both file-based and master boot record ransomware.

    Any files that were encrypted are rolled back to a safe state, meaning your employees can continue working uninterrupted, with minimal impact to business continuity. You get detailed post-cleanup information, so you can see where the threat got in, what it touched, and when it was blocked.

    Today’s cybercriminals constantly design unique and innovative methods of penetration and compromise. To avoid perimeter prevention technologies they use social engineering, non-malware and supply chain attacks to operate under the radar of security designed to catch ‘bad’ traces. It’s not enough to just ‘know’ what’s bad or dangerous – enterprises need to understand what’s normal, and use AI-driven techniques that simplify and automate this process. Targeted Attack Analyzer is a machine learning engine that involves self-learning to establish the baseline of normal, legitimate activities of an entire network. Through continuous network telemetry collection it finds deviations, detects suspicious activities and predicts further malicious actions at the initial stages of multilayered attacks.
