"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It is stable and scalable."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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 stability is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"We use a couple of Check Point products, like SmartEvent, and SandBlast Agent is not really integrated into that. We haven't gotten the reports working yet. We are working with the account team and trying. As I said, it's still relatively new in terms of what we're trying to achieve."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"Enhanced behavioral analytics would provide a deeper understanding of endpoint activities, fortifying our defenses against sophisticated cyber adversaries."
"The response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
"Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance."
"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"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."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
