Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""It is stable and scalable.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system.""The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud.""The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features.""The platform is straightforward to install.""It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly.""The dashboard actually is good and it is simple.""The solution has a good management interface.""It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."

More Malwarebytes Pros →

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates.""We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes.""On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly.""The notifications and patch management features are valuable.""Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected.""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.""The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

Cons
"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.""The solution is not stable.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""The support needs improvement.""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.""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.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen.""They could come up with better reporting capabilities.""Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives.""Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose.""The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need.""A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster.""Notifications are lacking.""It's not good in search hunting."

More Malwarebytes Cons →

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

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
  • "There are no issues with the pricing."
  • "The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing is good."
  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
  • "We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
  • "Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
  • "I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
  • "It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
  • "Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
  • More Malwarebytes Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
  • "The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
  • "If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
  • "The product has average pricing."
  • "The price is comparable."

    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.
