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."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"This solution can be used with any device, mobiles, desktops, or any appliances."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"The main real-time scanning takes most of the processing power of my notebook."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
