Pros
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems.

"It's very easy to set up.""I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector.""The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities.""I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good.""The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed.""The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition.""We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems.""The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"It is a scalable solution and very easy to use.""This is a stable product.""The product provides a one-click recovery of encrypted files.""The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to isolate or quarantine devices and block or detect Ransomware and other well-known tools that are used to exploit vulnerabilities on devices.""Blocking browser navigation is a feature of the solution with which we have experienced success.""The product is user-friendly.""The biggest strength of the solution is that it's an integrated product that includes EDR and antivirus.""If there is any malicious behavior in the workstation or server, the tool stops or isolates it automatically and generates alerts."

Cons
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""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.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""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.""They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool.""The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement.""CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization.""CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats.""The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak.""There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service.""On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant.""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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"One of the issues about the product stems from the failure to work on its administrative scalability. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.""The solution's downside stems from the fact that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and McAfee MVISION Endpoint are not combined into a single solution, so from an improvement perspective, they need to be combined into a single solution.""The technical support must be improved.""The main drawbacks are resources and processing time, as it consumes a lot of CPU and RAM.""The console has a lot of bugs, and it creates many issues.""The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work.""The endpoints and utilization are too high, which impacts the production activity.""For Spanish users, it is necessary to have a knowledge base specifically designed for them, which is currently not available."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    CrowdStrike Falcon offers advanced threat detection, real-time visibility, easy interface, and responsive customer support.
