Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is the accounting and reporting services are good and professional. The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients. It provides a clear understanding of usage, including how much traffic has been used and how much is remaining. Additionally, it's user-friendly and easy to understand. Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"It is stable."
"The protection that this solution offers us is strong."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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 amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."
"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."
"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."
"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."
