"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM could be improved."

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"Too many false positives."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"I would like to get reports about vulnerable connections from our clients with information about domains, public IPs, etc. That would be highly useful."
"The tool is not 100% stable."
"The product could be more stable. Microsoft products could be more stable because sometimes, even though they are updating some things, we cannot find those updates."
"When the product is being updated, it changes some of the setups. The support team is also not good."
"Microsoft has some training portals, but more could be developed."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The security compliance features need to be improved. Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well."
"I think the implementation could be more streamlined."
