Pros
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""It is stable and scalable.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward.""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 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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."

"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product.""The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution.""The detection is very effective.""We haven't had any infections or down time.""CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow.""CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution.""Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it.""It is an easy product to deploy."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"The solution has good performance.""The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms.""It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization.""The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system.""The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7.""The solution detects viruses very, very fast.""Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication.""It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."

More Norton Small Business Pros →

Cons
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage.""The SIEM could be improved.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""The solution is not stable.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""Detections could be improved.""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time.""I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better.""It does take more time to scan than other solutions.""A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined.""They should provide us with good visibility for everything.""We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler.""There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs.""Tighter integration around XDR could be included."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper.""There's a need for enhanced security measures.""The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times.""I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better.""One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling.""The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."

    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.
