We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Webroot Business Endpoint Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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"
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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 most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The stability is very good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The solution is not stable."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"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"
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
