Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) vs. FortiClient

Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is a suitable option in mid level and large companies to detect insider threats and stealthy attackers. It is highly recommended where data is highly sensitive and there are chances of attack to get access to critical revers to get saves credentials and stored files. for small and medium business this solution is not recommended where perimeter security is already configured.

Overall, my experience with the client is good, and because of its performance and lightweight, I recommend this software to my colleagues. Before this, I also used other apps for the same purpose, but my search ended when I came to Forticlient.

• To mimic production servers to deceive attackers
• To detect the lateral movements of adversary through machine learning algorithms
• To feed dummy data on production servers through threat strike feature

• Virtually a one-click action connection to my work network while remote. I just enter my network username & Password, click connect, and I can access all the fileshares as if I were on-site.
• Speed - I have used other virtual network clients in the past, and the speed while working remote with one of them (even on a high speed connection) was easily 10x slower than if I were physically on the network. FortiClient is different, where the speed degradation is on the magnitude of only 2-3x slower - A significant and noticeable difference compared to other clients on the market.
• On MacOS, FortiClient has a little toolbar icon that gives me a status, as well as actions to quickly connect or disconnect from my work network. It is a small thing, but a super handy feature!

• Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) should have capability for getting forensics packages from compromised systems in my opinion.
• I believe Auto phishing email detection capability should be improved to meet industry requirements to tackle phishing attack vector
• Malware detection capabilities should be improved to work to kernel level for better visibility in my opinion.

Incentivized

• font way too small on login, unable to select an option, for example, to see each letter of password as typed promotes errors at login
• login errors and failure rate extremely high as [reported] by all our physicians and other providers: not infrequently one will have to return to office after hours in order to complete charts or access charts to answer patient after hours questions
• frequent disconnects in spite of excellent internet signal
• unacceptable interruptions in patient care

Because the software is very simple and easy to use, very efficient, and has a stable connection that allows the user to perform tasks without problems. Also, this software does not need to be configured by IT technicians, since it comes with a very developed and understandable set up guide.

We have used Forticlient for a number of years now and have found only minor faults with the application. The fact that our end users request little to no training to be able to utilize our VPN says a lot compared to the product we previously used to use for similar tasks. The Forticlient shield is a quick way to 'demonstrate confidence in security' at a glance among our end users - if you see the shield, you are protected. The only downside we've experienced is a few false positive AV detections, but this is more linked to Fortiguard labs/signatures.

FortiClient is a security suite with which we can keep our equipment well-protected. And it is that in a system like Windows, which is always the target of all kinds of attacks, it is not enough to have a simple antivirus.

Attivo provides a user friendly management with a centralized manager. We can do configuration of Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) from a centralized console and deploy the Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) very easily. In other deception tool like forti deceptor etc, they have a bit poor user interface in my opinion and use-ability feature are improved in Attivo as compared to its competitors solutions I believe

Overally, FortiClient has less vulnerabilities than the two other products. The price is comparable to Citrix Gateway, but significantly less than Cisco AnyConnect. Much of the benefits of the FortiClient come with its ability to integrate with other Fortinet solutions. Without that, it is interchangeable with almost any other client.

• Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) helps to protect information hence Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is securing sensitive data therefore ROI is better as loosing the data is much more costlier as per Business Impact Analysis.
• In small organization ROI is not effective as cost of Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is a bit high and data being protected through EDN is not high value asset in my opinon.
• It is a better technology to detect cyber threats so anyway it is recommended to use for better security posture.

Incentivized

• Security is essential so we gain trust from clients!
• Data has private so we don't need to worry about additional security.
• More than 95% client needed more security which is fulfil by FortiClient.
• Don't need to use additional securities like SSL certificate or SSH.
