"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."

"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"The solution is easy to set up."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer. For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The price is too high."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The logging issues must be fixed."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"The solution could be more stable."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"If we could bypass the first couple of levels of support when we have a problem then it would be easier and quicker when we need an issue resolved."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
