"The stability is very good."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."

"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"The solution can scale easily."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"The interface could be improved."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
