Overall Satisfaction with FortiDeceptor
FortiDeceptor protects our network from all aspects of malicious attacks. It's a proactive approach to Internet security rather than reacting as problems occur but putting up a giant roadblock to would-be attackers and stopping any major problems before they start. It's not overly complicated to use and does the job.
- Protects against all types of malware.
- Provides visibility to potential attacks to your network.
- Blocks access to inappropriate websites.
- The GUI for FortiDeceptor is very detailed but can be a little tricky to navigate with many options spread out in its menus.
- The "attack map" gets points on its appearance but I'm not sure how useful it is as it's simply full of IP addresses and geographic locations.
- Internet security is a gamble. It's hard to know the cost of a "would-be" attack. FortiDeceptor is basically an insurance policy and for that, it is a great investment.
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (formerly Microsoft Defender ATP), Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM), Bitdefender GravityZone and Symantec Endpoint Security
The advantage of using FortiDeceptor is that it is available as either a standalone appliance or a VM. Fortinet does an excellent job of supporting this product (as they do with all of their products) and it's easy to manage. It's also great to have one vendor for all of our security products as the GUI is very well done and as familiar as using the FortiGate firewalls.
