The rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great
We use Fortinet firewalls for perimeter security at six to seven of our locations It provides extreme perimeter security, especially for VPN and application profiles, and seamless security monitoring through FortiAnalyzer. As a firewall the solution is great, we never had any issues. We saw time…

With great technical support and reasonable scalability options, the tool efficiently detects unknown threats
My company does face some issues with the solution due to certain interoperability. I wouldn't say it is not a stable solution, but as soon as you have another software in the environment, the solution tends to have some issues. A lot of the issues faced in the solution can be fixed with the help of whitelisting and a couple of rules or settings on your own. We have to face the same set of problems with the solution for every instance, so if you have a new client, you have to do the enrollment and admin work again. For every new use case, the creation of a new instance is required. I rate the stability a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its AI detection algorithm part, which helps and is Cybereason's way of detecting the unknown, not just the signature-based threats."
 

Cons

"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"Integrating other tools is sometimes an issue when using Cybereason Next-Generation Antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"There are no issues with the pricing."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"The pricing is good."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"Annual licensing."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
