"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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 most valuable features are patch management, software installation, and asset management."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"In terms of vulnerability management, it gives tough competition by providing a single management console with multiple benefits."
"The product is less costly when compared to other solutions, and this is a good solid solution for what we have paid."
"The use of fast query has been extremely valuable providing insight in real time of the endpoints."
"What I like most is that it is a powerful solution."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"This has very much improved our organization by saving time to deploy thousands of endpoints to our customers."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"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."

"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The solution offers great stability."
"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."
"It's very easy to set up."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I would request them to build a robots, or an easier way for integration with the other tools, like ITSM tools."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
"The new EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) feature, Detect, is new and still needs a few updates."
"I would like to see different types of reporting and the ability to integrate closer with the cloud."
"The remote software installation could be better."
"The deployment has room for improvement and can be more streamlined."
"I would like better support on the backend."
"The only thing that I don't like about BigFix is that it does not support other devices such as printer firmware, router firmware, and things like that. I will be happy if I can control everything and get everything else in there, even if it is just a line item. They can do some enhancements to the Web UI. I am trying to get customers to be able to manage their environment by using Web UI, and it would be good if we can delete endpoints by using Web UI. We should also be able to generate Excel content or data tables from the Web UI without having to go to the console. It is small stuff, and it drives me crazy that I have to go to another console to do these things."
"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."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"The price is too high."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"Too many false positives."
