We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Sophos EPP Suite 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 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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"The performance and scalability are impressive. We can install it on various computers."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"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."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"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."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
