"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be easily deployed and is cost effective and more secure."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers is useful."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Check Point Harmony is definitely pricier compared to other endpoints."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"Off the top of my head, I can't think of a way it has improved my organization."
"One area of this product that has room for improvement is the disc encryption."
"Unfortunately, the web (cloud) management system and log search performance are quite bad."
"SandBlast Agent had moments in which it had a high load, we escalated it to the CheckPoint support that helped us to stabilize it. We had a problem with the parameterization of the solution. Once corrected by following the CheckPoint instructions, everything worked normally again."
"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."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."

"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
