Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Wazuh and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR).
"The product is very easy to use."
"It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints."
"I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there."
"Defender is easy to use. It has a nice console, and everything is all in one place."
"It has great stability."
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"We are able to consolidate licences and make use of many Microsoft products using this solution. If we have any Microsoft customers, we encourage them to use this solution for enterprise defence."
"The EDR and the way it automatically responds to ransomware and other attacks are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The detection is very effective."
"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."
"Offboarding latency should be reduced. Even after a device has been successfully offboarded using a particular offboarding script, it still shows up as onboarded."
"One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions."
"The patching capability should be there. Patching is something that you cannot do even though you see the vulnerabilities present in your environment. For patching, you have to depend on another solution."
"The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform."
"The abundance of sub-dashboards and sub-areas within the main dashboard can be confusing, even if it all technically makes sense."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"Customers say they want absolutely seamless integration between other Microsoft solutions and Defender XDR, including the ability to change device settings within the Defender portal. They need to contact the IT team responsible for the device management tools to change some settings. They would prefer that those changes be initiated directly from the Defender portal or applied from Intune without involving the IT operations team."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."
