Includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data, but the monthly reporting feature can be improved
We use WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response to manage the Windows endpoints. We also have some Linux machines, but the majority are Windows endpoints. We also have some servers which WithSecure manages Regarding the security posture, we were quite weak in endpoint security, but…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The security is good."
"I've mainly found the antivirus and antispyware features valuable. The documentation is okay as well."
"It is mostly used for malware detection and antivirus purposes."
"There are times when Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response tags an executable as malicious when it is trying to get executed on the machine. In this case, it prevents the execution and it gives you a process view of things where you can look into what has happened and whether it is a genuine process trying to access some system activities, or it's a malicious one. Depending upon the process, it gives you a clear identification, and we can do the containment from the interface itself and isolate the machine from the network. The process review on network isolation is good."
"The solution has great blocking features."
"The solution is scalable."
"The pricing is good."
"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."
"It offers good scalability."
"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"Technical support is not as good as we expect, and resolving problems should be more timely."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
"Its automated functionality could be better."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is scalable. My company has 800-1000 customers."
"The website rules are too complicated."
"The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved."
"The tool’s mobile version needs to be improved."
