Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"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."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"All the features are beneficial."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The solution is stable."
"The Detection vulnerability is very effective."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"The setup is quite easy."
"The solution can scale well."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"The GUI could be better."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"The interface is very complicated."
