"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"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."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The monitoring is very good."
"It's made it easier for us to monitor the security environment in general."
"I like One Endpoint Security. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console."
"The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"The solution is powerful, simple to use, and very flexible. Having the solution in the cloud allows us to do remote work from anywhere."
"The main features that are useful are application control, vulnerability protection, and XDR Vision One which we have recently started using. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not stable."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"The reports are not eye-catching from the customer's point of view, which is something that should be improved."
"If certain alerts could be translated into day-to-day English with some action plans, a few points, what to do, and how to do it, that would help me personally as IT Manager. They have some recommendations regarding the vulnerability of the endpoint. They take you to some very technical information and if you are not a security engineer or security-trained you might not understand what they're talking about. We are a small company and it would benefit if things were explained better, we cannot afford a dedicated Trend Micro Apex One engineer."
"We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"It would be great it can support endpoint encryption."
"No product can ever be rated a ten out of ten. They are always improving on one aspect or another."
"Technical support is very very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
