We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Norton Small Business 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."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"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."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The solution has good performance."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
