Cost considerations
FortiEDR basic Discover-and-Protect bundle lists at about $20 K for 500 endpoints (~$40 per device per year), placing the entry price in the mid-market range. Advanced XDR, MDR, extra storage and the obligatory onboarding service are billed separately, driving incremental spend as needs expand. The moderate starting fee coupled with multiple paid add-ons results in a cost profile that is neither bargain nor premium.

Functionality
FortiEDR uses machine-learning to stop attacks in real time and automatically quarantines or rolls back endpoints. Tight integration with FortiClient firewall features and FortiXDR correlates endpoint events with network and cloud telemetry for unified response. These functions place Fortinet’s endpoint suite in the top tier of available security tools.

Compatibility
FortiEDR agents cover Windows servers and desktops, macOS, 64-bit Linux and VDI images, while Android and iOS devices use the FortiClient mobile app. FortiEDR exports events to external SIEMs through REST API calls or standard syslog, so security teams integrate dashboards without custom coding. Mobile support is separate and the Linux agent is x86-64 only, so breadth of coverage sits just below the rubric’s top tier.

User experience
Peer reviews say FortiEDR’s console is quick to deploy and dashboards are easy to follow. Other users report confusing navigation and must call support to fine-tune policies, so overall user experience ranks average among endpoint tools
