Comparison Results: The solutions are similar, but differ in the features that they offer. Users of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are happier with the price.
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Provides good vulnerability assessment."
"It doesn't cause the slowness of the system, which is one of the reasons why I like it."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution's latest features for threat analysis are updated to provide us with future protection against the latest threats worldwide."
"The scalability is good."
"Real-time detection and cloud-based delivery of detections are highly efficient."
"Technical support has been great."
"It is easy to install and use requiring little maintenance but applying updates."
"The performance is good."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"The extendability is great."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The independent modules are very good."
"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."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution could use improvement on the interface."
"The solution could be more friendly for end-users, with different type of scans or scheduled scans for it."
"The scalability could be improved - I would rate it between a seven and an eight."
"The solution should be updated by Microsoft with new features from time to time."
"If there were more template queries in the library, that would make it much easier. They could have basic things, like, "Where's the IP for this user?" or, "What file was downloaded from this user?" If there were more of those basic queries that would help."
"I would like to see the next generation of the tool improved to work with other operating systems, like Linux."
"I would like to have a dashboard that shows an overview of the results for the enterprise."
"Alerts need to be sent immediately because as it is now, you see some of them without delay and others arrive perhaps 30 minutes later, and it leaves important gaps in terms of information gathering."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
