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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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 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"
"This is stable and scalable."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security performance."
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"The product is quite affordable."
"The pricing is good."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"I saw a bunch of false positives which need to be fixed."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"They can improve ransomware protection, and there should be cloud sandboxing for Mac."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
