This protects them from any threats.""The stability is very good.""It is stable and scalable.""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."

"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature.""The initial setup was straightforward.""I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector.""This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one.""The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint.""The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control.""Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures.""As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."

More Kandji Pros →

Cons
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""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.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""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.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better.""There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs.""Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing.""Technical support could be better than what is currently offered.""CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition.""If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products.""They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery.""Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."

"Kandji should give open customization."

    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. It enhances workflow and efficiency, promotes collaboration, streamlines processes, and boosts productivity.
