Pros
"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.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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.""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.""This is stable and scalable.""Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work.""The product's initial setup phase is very easy.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy."

"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it.""The scalability is good.""The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS.""CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network.""CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution.""The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy.""One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees.""Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization.""It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention.""In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects.""The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature.""The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints.""We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine.""In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Pros →

Cons
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""The SIEM could be improved.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""Detections could be improved.""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""We find the solution to be a bit expensive.""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 →

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good.""The management of the solution could improve.""The management reporting functionality needs to be improved.""CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system.""There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service.""A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined.""I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool.""In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable.""Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM.""The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware.""Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement.""One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process.""Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline.""It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."

    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.
