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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."
"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
