What is FortiXDR?

XDR Defined and Explained
Extended detection and response (XDR) is a natural extension of the endpoint detection and response (EDR) concept, in which behaviors that occur after threat prevention controls act are further inspected for potentially malicious, suspicious, or risky activity that warrant mitigation. The difference is simply the location (endpoint or beyond) where the behaviors occur.

Effective traffic monitoring, integrates well, but stability could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."
  • "Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."

What is our primary use case?

FortiXDR is used for end-point security. It is the strongest end-point security and it manages everything well. My clients use it because they have Fortinet firewalls.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly.

What needs improvement?

Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used FortiXDR within the past 12 months.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

FortiXDR could improve the initial setup. The process could be made easier and lighter on resources. There are a lot of solutions that are more lightweight on the resources.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This is an expensive solution compared to other vendors, such as Check Point.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Check Point. FortiXDR has an advantage because it can be enabled from the cloud. Check Point has the advantage in the price, it is less expensive.

I rate the price of FortiXDR an eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

You need to use FortiXDR and FortiManager together. If a customer has only firewalls and they don't have FortiManager and have FortiXDR, they will have to add FortiManager and use them together. The cost will increase a lot and it might not be affordable. They are normally purchased as a package not individually.

I rate FortiXDR a six out of ten.
