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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"Performance is very good."
"Technical support was perfect."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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 performance could be better."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"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."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"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."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
