Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""It is stable and scalable.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention.""Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."

More Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business Pros →

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected.""The notifications and patch management features are valuable.""We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes.""On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly.""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.""The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

Cons
"Detections could be improved.""The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""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.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues.""One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."

More Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business Cons →

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could 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.""There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge.""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.""There is no technical support available in the Middle East.""I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved.""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."

  • "There are no issues with the pricing."

  • "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."

    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.
