We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and McAfee MOVE AntiVirus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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"
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"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."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the integration with different modules like the DLP."
"There are tons of valuable features, including threat protection and antivirus."
"The solution is scalable. There are approximately 30 users using it in my organization."
"In the time that I've been using it, it hasn't crashed. It's rock-solid. So, I haven't noticed any performance issues, like using too much CPU or memory."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product is reliable and easy to use."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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 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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"Too many false positives."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"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 could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"They should work to make the renewal process better. I'd like to see is a few weeks of notification up front that the renewal is about to expire."
"It's resiliency needs improvement."
"In the next release, MOVE AntiVirus should include a file protection feature for mobile devices."
"We started using MOVE Antivirus because our security staff required it. And I personally haven't seen the difference because I haven't had any issues so far that McAfee addresses."
"The cost could be improved."
"The interface is not so easy to use and could be improved."
"McAfee could improve the administrative interface. It's functional but could be more user-friendly."
"Overall, the solution could be better priced."
