Pros
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""This is stable and scalable.""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.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""NGAV and EDR features are outstanding.""The setup is pretty simple."

"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process.""The ease of deployment is a valuable feature.""Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."

More SECDO Platform Pros →

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward.""This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature.""The initial setup is very easy.""​Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks.​""I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex.""The biggest feature out of CarbonBlack is its ability to dive in with more depth. You can look at the entire kill chain and understand, not only if an alarm or identified incident is truly a true security issue versus a false positive, and it allows us to backtrack and figure out why it actually happened and how it got into the environment.""The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user.""It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for advanced threat detection and response."

Cons
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""The support needs improvement.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location.""Detections could be improved.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market.""Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it.""Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."

More SECDO Platform Cons →

"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution.""At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point.""Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert.""Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7.""There is room for improvement in the support and service team.""In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it.""The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works.""The pricing could be more reasonable."

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 →

  • "Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
  • "The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • More SECDO Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

    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.

    SECDO enables security teams to identify and remediate incidents fast. Using thread-level endpoint monitoring and causality analytics, SECDO provides visibility into every endpoint along with the context necessary for understanding whether a suspicious activity is a genuine threat. Unique deception techniques force threats like ransomware out into the open early, and trigger automated containment and remediation.

    SECDO provides the most intuitive investigation experience available so you can quickly unravel complex incidents across the organization.  You can investigate incidents detected by SECDO as well as alerts from the SIEM. SECDO visualizes the attack chain so you immediately understand the “who, what, where, when and how” behind the incident. Then, based on an analysis of exactly how endpoints were compromised, SECDO surgically remediates the incident with minimum user impact.

    VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Security is a comprehensive endpoint protection platform (EPP) designed to safeguard enterprises from advanced cyber threats, malware, ransomware, and other forms of malicious attacks. Leveraging cloud-native architecture, it provides a robust set of tools to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity incidents across environment.
