"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."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The solution can scale easily."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"The monitoring is very good."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
"Using the product as a service on the cloud has helped reduced employee workloads."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
"One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
"It's easier to integrate Apex One than Kaspersky. It also performs well, and the customer feedback has been positive."
"The most valuable features are web application features and real-time scans."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"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."
"The price is too high."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"The solution should adjust its pricing for the smaller market we are in."
"We have had some false positives with One Endpoint Security's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"Recently, we had a malware attack and considered looking at other cloud solutions because of this breach."
"The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement."
