"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"This is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"It's easy to use."
"The malware threat detection has been excellent overall."
"Kaspersky Enterprise solution's combined protections have helped to block a lot of malware which would have caused a lot of interruptions in our operations."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Detections could be improved."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
