We’re proud to announce that Fortinet has been named a 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) for the fourth consecutive year. This recognition is based entirely on feedback from verified end-users, and we believe it reflects the trust customers place in Fortinet to protect endpoints effectively, reliably, and at scale.

In 2026, Fortinet received one of the highest overall ratings in the market, with 4.8 out of 5 stars and a 98% willingness to recommend (as of November 2025, out of 168 ratings).  We sourced customer feedback reflecting real-world experiences with both FortiEDR and FortiClient, which together form the FortiEndpoint platform.

We believe that our unique integrated approach brings critical endpoint protection capabilities together into a unified agent, delivering EPP, endpoint detection and response (EDR), zero-trust network access (ZTNA), vulnerability management, and more through a single platform, simplifying security while strengthening protection.

Why We Believe Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice Matters

Choosing the right endpoint protection platform requires more than feature comparisons or vendor claims. Gartner Peer Insights reviews offer direct insight into how solutions perform in real-world environments, across deployments and operations, and reflect their long-term value.

The Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer report synthesizes verified customer feedback to help security and IT leaders make informed, confident decisions based on real user experiences.

FortiEndpoint: One Agent, One Management, One License

We believe that this fourth consecutive Customers’ Choice recognition reflects Fortinet’s continued evolution toward FortiEndpoint as a truly unified endpoint security platform.

At its core, FortiEndpoint is built on four foundational capabilities:

  • Unified agent: A single, lightweight agent that replaces multiple endpoint tools, simplifying deployment, management, and ongoing operations across the enterprise
  • EPP: AI-driven prevention that protects endpoints against malware, ransomware, exploits, and fileless attacks with minimal performance impact
  • EDR: Advanced behavioral detection, real-time threat visibility, and automated response to identify, investigate, and contain sophisticated attacks
  • ZTNA: Built-in secure access that continuously validates user and device posture, enabling least-privilege access without the need for separate agents or point solutions.

By unifying EPP, EDR, and ZTNA into a single agent and platform, FortiEndpoint simplifies endpoint security, reduces operational complexity, and strengthens protection across the entire attack life cycle.

Thank You to Our Customers
