Featured Reviews

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.
Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
 

Cons

"The solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"The support needs improvement."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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"
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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 product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"Fortinet FortiEDR has a yearly subscription."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"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."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
