What advice do you have for others considering Fortinet FortiEDR?

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The solution's automated response features are good, but only to a certain level. You have to intervene in between and check the system manually because it will sometimes falsely block the machines or mark something as malicious, which is safe. The automated response features are not up there, but it's good enough. Fortinet FortiEDR is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Fortinet FortiEDR has built-in AI capabilities that block everything it has never seen. This is a pain point for us because it blocks every single thing. However, the solution's AI capabilities are beneficial from a security perspective. Some users tried connecting USBs with years-old applications, and Fortinet FortiEDR didn't recognize them. It matched the signature with other applications and blocked them. We later checked the application, and it was not malicious but somewhere around the area. I recommend that users go for XDR, the service above EDR because it will be more beneficial. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

FortiEDR is a robust solution for medium-sized companies, especially in sectors like education where endpoint security is crucial. Its integration with other Fortinet products can significantly enhance network security and visibility. I rate the product an eight.

The automated response capabilities of the solution is helpful to a certain extent, but a centralized management tool is required to realize auto responses. If the Fortinet FortiEDR is integrated with FortiSOAR, then the effectiveness of Fortinet FortiEDR becomes 2X in comparison to idle EDR. The Fortinet FortiEDR can be easily integrated with third-party solutions. Every vendor is trying to integrate AI capabilities, and so is Fortinet FortiEDR , but there can be an adoption challenge for the users. HIPAA compliance customers shouldn't do an integral scan of the Bogies, or otherwise, the system should be on a metadata level. Therefore customers might disable AI driven features or might pass on solutions like Fortinet FortiEDR. Fortinet FortiEDR has an ML component from the initial versions of the product before it became a trend. I would rate the solution overall as seven out of ten. I believe Fortinet FortiEDR can be much better based on my experience working with basic antiviruses since Symantec Version 6.0 and McAfee Version 2.0 were relevant. I would definitely recommend Fortinet FortiEDR to organizations with users between 2000 and 5000 because it's an affordable solution compared to others. But Sophos has a better storage feature than Fortinet FortiEDR, which can help detect ATP if an endpoint misses. For SMBs, Sophos might be a better option for storage facilities.

The solution provides online training that we can use to learn how to use the product. My recommendation depends on an organization's budget. However, I will recommend CrowdStrike more than Fortinet. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

Definitely have a small testing environment and not just monitor mode. Include a limited network so you can see how it reacts in full prevention mode to assess the potential impact of false positives. Also, if you are interested in integration with FortiGate firewalls, carefully investigate how that collaboration will be achieved. Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it, but I will definitely ask them about the network security platforms they use in their environment. I would definitely recommend Fortinet FortiEDR to those who already have Fortinet products in their environment. The integration with other Fortinet solutions has not impacted our company's security strategy. Considering the list of complaints that my company has received regarding the product from our customers, I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

The integration of Fortinet products significantly bolstered our security environment. Among the seven layers of integration implemented, two key integrations stand out. Firstly, integrating across several SSCs globally facilitated the aggregation of information into a single BI tool, notably Microsoft BI, streamlining reporting processes. While this integration was relatively straightforward, integrating with external vendors posed challenges due to diverse systems and solutions across the industry chain. However, with the assistance of specialized experts, these challenges were effectively addressed. In terms of my recommendation, I would certainly endorse its use. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would overall rate it an eight out of ten.

I recommend those who plan to use the solution to give it a try. Considering all the use cases, different environments, and costs, people need to find the best solution that suits them well. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiEDR a seven out of ten.

We used Sophos earlier, and FortiEDR has an entirely different philosophy of running from a firewall. Some things are really weird now, but FortiEDR has a better implementation. It's a more powerful tool than Sophos. We could not solve some of our problems with Sophos, which we could solve in Fortinet within three or four months, so it's a good tool. Integrating FortiEDR with other solutions by other vendors is tricky if you want to establish VPN channels, but it is possible. I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Since it is my first time using EDR software, I have not gotten a chance to compare the solution with other products. The product itself is okay. All the events we blocked were real, but how we implemented the solution with a customer is a weakness. If you want real-time security, you must do it yourself. That's too much for our team to handle, so we have to use EDR as a service, and now the flaw is that it's too slow. The flow of information is too slow. We always have to wait because the company implementing FortiEDR is not fast enough with the information flow. If we would do it ourselves, the information flow would be faster, but we don't have the manpower needed for it. Our team is smaller than five years ago because we give all the tasks away to external companies and now we have to pay for it.

I rate FortiEDR an eight out of ten. I give FortiEDR a high mark because it's well-priced for its features. It's a better value than other tools, such as Microsoft Defender. My advice to potential users is to understand your precise requirements and know that there are limitations around iOS and Linux. Before deploying, you should ensure that FortiEDR best fits your current environment.

I give Fortinet FortiEDR an eight out of ten. The time to value depends on the complexity of the solution and can take anywhere from two to fifteen days. This is my third time attending RSA. I always look forward to meeting my old friends, and I always come away with a lot of knowledge. Attending RSA gives us the opportunity to explore new cybersecurity vendors for potential future purchases.

I give Fortinet FortiEDR an eight out of ten. We are looking for max solutions from vendors. We may look at VPN solutions as well. Attending RSA is an opportunity to network and compare products from vendors around the world which are interesting. Attending RSA gives us the opportunity to compare products and understand the latest technology. This is something that is really valuable.

I give Fortinet FortiEDR a nine out of ten. The RSA conference helps me stay up-to-date on technology. It also helps me think differently about my use cases. Sometimes, a feature is supported, but other times, vendors may not have it. There may be a reason why they're not doing things the way they say they will. Attending RSA has an impact on our organization's cybersecurity purchases. In fact, some of the vendors I spoke to told me that a group had already scheduled a meeting with us, which I was unaware of.

I give Fortinet FortiEDR an eight out of ten. I came here to test ICS points and get some tools for VFDs. API security is becoming increasingly important, as we use a lot of APIs in our government. We need to test APIs to ensure they are secure, especially as ransomware attacks are also on the rise. This is my fourth time coming to this RSA. I bought a new product here this time. We can see everything in one room, which makes it easy for us to understand and also make new contacts.

I'm an end-user. I can recommend this solution, however, it wouldn't be at the top of my list in terms of recommendations. I'd rate it six out of ten overall. There is quite some space for improvement.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten overall. I'd recommend the solution to others.

I give the solution a five out of ten. Three dedicated people are required for maintenance. I do not recommend the on-premise version of the Fortinet FortiEDR. I recommend people use the cloud version instead because it is more stable.

I rate FortiEDR 10 out of 10. I say go for it.

This product is currently in our test environment and I like it and rate FortiEDR eight out of 10.

With any of these products, you need to step back and look at where the wave of technology is going in the security posture. I think that you need to step back and say, "Here's my current situation, what's the best solution two to three years from now?" If you look at that, I don't see Fortinet or Palo Alto or any of those traditional product vendors being the future state. These companies are like system integrators. A lot of system integrators went out of business mostly because they couldn't make the paradigm shift from a product led business to a service led business. I see the same type of thing happening in the traditional Perimeter Security companies, that are not designed from the ground up. They make an acquisition of a product and they try to integrate it into their business model, and to leverage all their other products in a suite. That's not the way the industry is going. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Fortinet FortiEDR somewhere around a six. It goes back to what I said that I don't think it's got a huge future. If you compare it to CrowdStrike or those type of products, it is very similar to Palo Alto's Cortex, they didn't even come out with an an EDR solution, they went directly to an XDR solution. What is XDR penetration? About 2% of the market right now. It's just not a fit to the future. That's why I give it a six.

For some organizations, FortiEDR is good enough, but for others, it's not. It depends on the organization's infrastructure. I would rate Fortinet FortiEDR at six on a scale from one to ten.

I would rate Fortinet FortiEDR an eight out of ten.

This is definitely a good product and will make your life easier. I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.

Overall, we are quite happy with this product. It basically works the way we want it since we have installed it. It's as per expectations. I would rate Fortinet FortiEDR a nine out of ten.

As of now, it's very good. We don't have a lot of challenges. The EDR concept is new to the market. It doesn't have a lot of competition. As of now, we don't have a lot of user input. If it's on the market for a few more years, I'm sure people will have more feedback. We do our own documentation and share the whitepapers with our clients. I don't find Fortinet to be a difficult tool. The reporting is good and designed in a way that even a newcomer can use it easily. As of now those clients who have migrated from other security vendors don't have a lot of challenges. The clients appreciate the technology and report that they have tangible benefits. I would rate it a nine out of ten. All of the requirements are addressed nicely and the security is covered. It has everything it needs.
