"The stability is very good."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"All the features are beneficial."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"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 malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"The configuration is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very good."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It is very powerful."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
