We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"It is a scalable product."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The solution is very scalable. It just depends on the number of licenses an organization has. The enterprise management console is related to the number of clients, and the client interface itself is free to download."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"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 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"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"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."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"The support is poor."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
"Report generation can be improved."
