Pros
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""The setup is pretty simple.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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.""It is stable and scalable.""he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."

"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.""The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps.""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.""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.""The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."

More Jamf Protect Pros →

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly.""The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection.""The notifications and patch management features are valuable.""We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes.""There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection.""F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates.""Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

Cons
"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.""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'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.""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.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful.""The solution's integration with other tools is slow.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""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.""Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."

More Jamf Protect Cons →

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East.""There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge.""But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software.""Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved.""The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve.""I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved.""The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

    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.
