"The stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."

"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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 an easy product to deploy."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM 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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
