Valuable for remote work security and enhances endpoint protection effectively
At my last job, we used FortiEDR to secure endpoints for 8,000 employees across MacBooks and Linux machines, ensuring the protection of backups and VPN connections. In 2020, we faced a significant challenge with remote work in Brazil, where BitLocker was utilized. FortiEDR proved invaluable as it…

Reduces organizational risk, low on machine load, and helps prevent ransomware
The most important aspect of the solution is that the load on the machine is not very high. It doesn't take up battery resources. The solution prevents ransomware and other threats. So far, it is working brilliantly. The dashboards and UI are user friendly, as is the ability to configure as needed. It seems to have a lot more capabilities. The XDR capabilities, in particular, look very strong. We're currently looking into that. If we want to do integrations with third parties, we don't have very many challenges around that. The ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is very useful. It's impressive. The AI engine it has is excellent. It helps us consolidate our security solutions. While it does not allow us to reduce alerts per se, it does a good job of correlating. The way it's integrated into the SIM, it's working to the expectations we have. The solution helps free up people so that they can work on other tasks. We don't have to grow our team too much now. My security team is actually quite small - about five people. We all get more time to handle other tasks. We've noted that it does help reduce mean time to respond. We can identify events easier and those that are most critical are brought to the forefront. Previously, we were in the dark. Now we have so much more visibility. It's been a huge improvement. It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The stability is very good."
"It's easy to configure and integrate the solution with the current network because it is used by Fortinet clients."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The portal is the most valuable feature because it provides us with a single pane of glass view and is highly intuitive."
"SentinelOne has helped us to improve our security by fine-tuning our current use cases and creating new ones."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the rapid threat detection."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability, as opposed to the traditional rule-based antivirus."
"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."
"The most useful feature of all is deep visibility."
"The reporting part is awesome."
"Device control and network control are valuable."
 

Cons

"I did face some challenges using Fortinet FortiEDR, especially in the Mac environment. While the detections work well in Windows, Mac has limitations. If I need to configure something in the Mac environment, I have to open a support ticket because I can't do it myself; the support team has to apply the configurations on the backend."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Detections could be improved."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"In terms of improvement, the documentation could be better. I would also like to see SingularityOne compatibility with Huntress, and the tighter integration between them would bring more to the table."
"We have had one or two occasions when we had to roll back off our Windows machine. Then, we had an issue with SentinelOne where we couldn't let the client make contact with the cloud service anymore. Therefore, the integration with the Windows Service Recovery could be improved in the future."
"There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools."
"We'd like to have a network map or scan to cover network security."
"The delay in updating inventory is ten minutes. If it can be improved, it will help a lot."
"One area of SentinelOne that definitely has room for improvement is the reporting. The canned reports are clunky and we haven't been able to pull a lot of good information directly from them."
"Communication and documentation could be improved."
"I would like to see a better control panel for the managed service side of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiEDR is pretty cheap compared to other EDR products because it provides three-for-one contracts."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"The pricing is good."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"Nothing good is cheap, and SentinelOne is no exception."
"The per-seat cost is low, but you have to commit to a certain number of licenses for a year."
"I found the pricing for SentinelOne Singularity Complete reasonable."
"The pricing and licensing make sense."
"Its price can be lower because I'm seeing competition from another vendor who beats it on commercials."
"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."
"USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."
"The pricing level for this service and application was very interesting for us. I don't know exactly what the price was, but apparently it was a big surprise that the SOC was also included in our pricing model."
