"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The stability is very good."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"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 solution can scale easily."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed."
"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
