We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture.""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.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff.""CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts.""Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue.""All the features are beneficial.""The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature.""Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches.""The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature.""We haven't had any infections or down time."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus.""Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention.""Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.""The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps.""The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."

More Jamf Protect Pros →

Cons
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""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""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""The solution is not stable.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant.""It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better.""I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better.""Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey.""It can be expensive depending on the features you select.""I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise.""The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement.""The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch.""Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices.""I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing.""The solution's integration with other tools is slow."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    CrowdStrike Falcon offers advanced threat detection, real-time visibility, easy interface, and responsive customer support. It enhances workflow and efficiency, promotes collaboration, streamlines processes, and boosts productivity. With features like incident response options, customizable alerts, and proactive threat hunting, it helps protect organizations from malware and ransomware attacks.
