"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The remote support is good."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"One of the most valuable features is the Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These features are able to scan email attachments before the user is able to access the file and then provide a safe copy of the attachment. Malicious files never get to the users machine. This is a very valuable feature of this solution."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."

"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"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"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."

"Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"As of now, product-wise, we haven't found any major concern that needs to improve, although it does not support full MDM and this is something that should be there."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."

"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"Too many false positives."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"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."
