Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution acts like an advanced antivirus with extended features like logging and automated response to detected threats. This automation helps save time, as the system automatically handles malicious detections and responses without much manual configuration."
"The solution's most valuable features are the investigation tab and the granular control that Fortinet provides."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Performance is very good."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
 

Cons

"The control of scripts could be improved because you use Microsoft Active Directory and unnecessary scripts to keep the roles updated with company policies."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
