We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Trend Micro ServerProtect 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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Performance is very good."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"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."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
