Featured Reviews

Chad Kliewer - PeerSpot reviewer
We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious
The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.
RafaelTorres - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It gives all the information in a clear response."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform. It is very straightforward."
"Their EDR solution, the ability to mitigate issues through their command line, is probably the best feature that we've had. We use that all the time. It's very useful for doing investigations."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It's easy to configure and integrate the solution with the current network because it is used by Fortinet clients."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
 

Cons

"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance."
"They need to improve their technical support services."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The control of scripts could be improved because you use Microsoft Active Directory and unnecessary scripts to keep the roles updated with company policies."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The pricing is manageable."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is pretty cheap compared to other EDR products because it provides three-for-one contracts."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Offered at a high price"
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
