"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention.""The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community.""The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps.""Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.""We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus.""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."

More Jamf Protect Pros →

"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks.""Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total.""I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent.""CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions.""The solution is extremely scalable.""The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation.""I found it very valuable as a whole. It is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe. It is also very easy to use.""The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."

Cons
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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.""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.""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.""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 should address emerging threats like SQL injection."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"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 stability could be improved.""The solution's integration with other tools is slow.""Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing.""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.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Jamf Protect Cons →

"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security.""In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers.""In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it.""In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption.""Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use.""Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes.""In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution.""The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."

    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.
