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."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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"The solution offers great stability."
"This is a solid and stable solution."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very good at scanning."

"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Detections could be improved."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"The price could also use improvement."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
