We performed a comparison between BigFix and CrowdStrike Falcon 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."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"What I like most is that it is a powerful solution."
"It has improved reliability upon delivery of software and has also helped reduce software expenses. The extensibility of BigFix helps to create custom solutions where we may have considered purchasing something instead."
"BigFix technical support is good."
"This has very much improved our organization by saving time to deploy thousands of endpoints to our customers."
"The best feature of BigFix is its multi-platform support."
"Vulnerability scanning and patch automation."
"It has plugins development options, which are great."
"All the vendor patches are synchronized automatically."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"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 threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"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's very easy to set up."
"The solution can scale easily."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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 solution is not stable."
"It can be improved speed-wise. They can make it a little bit light. If you do any query for servers in bulk, it can take some time. Similarly, creating a job can take some time."
"I would like to see the integration of user security between the different products to be improved. There's separate security for compliance, separate security for web reports, and the console, and you have to manage those things separately."
"I would like to see SDK for Web UI included in the next release."
"I would like to see the Self Service section made more user-friendly."
"The tool should be more friendly in terms of Web UI and should be having better vulnerability scanning mechanisms so a third-party application is not required to fulfill that aspect."
"The product lacks AI, ML, and IIT."
"I would like to see API connectivity, built-in API connectors to the standard toolsets, whether it's for your ServiceNow or your Qualys. More API connectivity to make it easier to integrate to other tools."
"The scalability of the web UI product doesn't scale to the size that we need for our implementation so it needs to expand. I would also like to see the capability to develop on the back of the web UI capability. There are lots of web features and integrations that we could do with web UI that it would be nice to be able to put on top of what's already there, rather than waiting for IBM to develop what we need."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"The performance could be better."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
