Cost considerations
Fortinet offers mid-range per-endpoint pricing that packages basic AV and device control, while advanced EDR or XDR functions come as separate licenses. Buyers cite predictable budgeting, but add-ons increase total spend compared with vendors that bundle everything. Overall value is solid yet not the cheapest option in the market.

Functionality
Fortinet’s endpoint agent applies machine-learning prevention and records activity for real-time investigation, then can automatically kill processes or isolate a workstation within seconds. Telemetry also feeds into the cloud FortiXDR service, where it is correlated with firewall and network data for wider attack context. The product therefore matches the rubric’s top tier for AI prevention, live EDR, automated response, device control, and SaaS-based XDR correlation.

Compatibility
Lightweight FortiEDR agent runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, pooled VDI images, and older Windows releases, while a separate FortiClient app adds Android and iOS coverage. FortiClient EMS delivers built-in MDM and streams telemetry to FortiSIEM or third-party SIEMs through open APIs or syslog. This breadth means organizations face few compatibility gaps across mixed desktop, server, mobile, and legacy estates.

User experience
Fortinet’s cloud console centralizes endpoint status, but dense menus and security-centric labels slow navigation compared with peers. Most teams turn to vendor guides or training videos before feeling confident. Day-to-day tasks like quarantining a host run smoothly once operators learn the layout.
