"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Center Management"
"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."

"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."

"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."

"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
