We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""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.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture.""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.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."

"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps.""The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community.""We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus.""Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.""Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."

"The performance is good.""The initial setup was easy.""The encryption feature that allows you complete control of your device is what I found most valuable in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum.""Instead of having to wait for alerts, the IT security team can actively hunt for threats by proactively scanning endpoints to spot anomalies and security breaches.""Kaspersky EDR is constantly updated and can respond to any threat nearly in real-time. They work hard to produce all the updates on time.""EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness.""It offers features like system hardening, vulnerability management, patch management, and device control, which are not present in other solutions.""Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum have met our requirements."

Cons
"The SIEM could be improved.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""The support needs improvement.""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 haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch.""The solution's integration with other tools is slow.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices.""I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful.""Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."

More Jamf Protect Cons →

"Security features could be improved.""The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls.""For improvement, they should make the scanning process faster. The scanning and updating take more time.""The initial setup is a bit difficult.""We have had some issues updating Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum.""Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times.""EDR Optimum's scalability could be improved.""They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."

    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.
