We saw time to value within two weeks of implementing the solution, which strengthened our use cases
We use FortiAI, FortiSIEM, and FortiEDR Fortinet helped us scale large-scale deals with clients because of its strong offerings. Fortinet is very straightforward to use. I have access to a lot of technical resources, and I have been able to use them effectively. Fortinet has helped free up around…

Reliable with excellent pricing and good reliability
We primarily use the solution as a basic antivirus. It's for protection. We centralize the management of 50 computers.  The solution offers us more security and less chance of getting a virus. So far, we have had no viruses.  So far, the experience has been positive.  The pricing is good. It is…

Offers URL filtering and protection against phishing
The zero-trust application service that WatchGuard EPDR runs is good. If there aren't any matches for a signature or a file, the solution will initially run them on a sandbox and determine if it is secure to run it in the environment. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it is done with AI, while only one percent of the time, it takes less than twenty-four hours for human intervention. You get a good experience with the tool, but sometimes it can be a bit stressful because the tool doesn't have the signatures to run it, making the product take twenty minutes instead of five minutes, but it is good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The independent modules are very good."
"The product's most valuable features are the zero-trust application service and its capability to detect threats and attacks."
"The reporting feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"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"
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The support needs improvement."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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 SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"The product is available at a very high price, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"The pricing is good."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is available at a high price."
"The price is excellent."
