We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Fortinet FortiClient based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The detection is very effective."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The solution can scale easily."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"The initial setup is very good."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."
"The solution offers great stability."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Detections could be improved."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"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."
"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"The price is too high."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"The documentation could be improved."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
