Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks.""The stability is very good.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."

"The dashboard management feature is valuable.""It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on.""Their remote management (RMM) is very good.""The patch management module is very important.""The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support.""It is stable, and the performance is good.""Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent.""We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it.""The most valuable feature is data loss prevention.""The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response.""The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects.""We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful.""The web control and the application control are two good features.""What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer. For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool.""We bought it because it was cost-effective."

Cons
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""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.""The support needs improvement.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""Detections could be improved.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection.""It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda.""The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe.""Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured.""They could have more reports.""Their MacOS support isn't that good.""Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue.""The implementation was difficult."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 Cons →

"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset.""The product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection.""There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite.""The support could be improved. The response times are slow.""There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017.""The user interface is not responsive.""Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement.""Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."

    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.
