Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""This is stable and scalable.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part.""The most valuable features of Red Canary MDR are its modeled after the MITRE ATT&CK framework and we can easily automate the containment of the endpoint. Additionally, it is easy to use and we have never had an issue with it.""The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good.""The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out.""The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."

More Red Canary Pros →

"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based.""We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events.""The solution is scalable."

More Trellix Active Response Pros →

Cons
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""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.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""The solution is not stable.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""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.""We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users.""There should be an easier way to update agents to new levels in Red Canary MDR. However, it is not a huge issue but it would help.""I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats.""The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides.""The price could always be better."

More Red Canary Cons →

"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues.""There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't.""I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."

  • More Fortinet FortiEDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."

  • "Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."
  • More Red Canary Pricing and Cost Advice →

    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.
