We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet FortiClient based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"It is a scalable product."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The stability is pretty good."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution is not stable."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features. Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features."
