Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Valuable for remote work security and enhances endpoint protection effectively
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. It is very user-friendly and easy to manage. The deployment process is quick and easy, especially in new environments. It's very fast and straightforward.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The stability is very good."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The solution acts like an advanced antivirus with extended features like logging and automated response to detected threats. This automation helps save time, as the system automatically handles malicious detections and responses without much manual configuration."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"We have a specific policy to protect most of the software our employees use on EvoraMet, whether cloud-based or installed on Microsoft machines. We enforce a security rule where any software with a security score lower than three is blocked within the network."
 

Cons

"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Offered at a high price"
"The pricing is good."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
