Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The stability is very good."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"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 threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection are the EOP, ATP, safe links, fishing, and antispam."
"With Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, if malware is attached to a mailer, it's very easy to go into the incident alert and find out what's happening with that identity and the mail."
"We like the holding facility that is available for potentially suspicious URL's. This allows a real-time review to be performed before the email reaches a users inbox."
"It is scalable."
"The solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, so you don't need train it to detect something. The detection and response times are short. It's an excellent product."
"It has a really nice web-based administration console."
"In general, my company is happy with Microsoft support...My company hasn't faced any stability issues with the solution."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection was easy."
"The support needs improvement."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"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."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"Performance and speed should continue to be improved."
"When the product is being updated, it changes some of the setups. The support team is also not good."
"Microsoft 365 Defender and EOP policies are stable with the proper license. However, with the basic policy, it's hard to say it's stable due to configuration limitations."
"I would like to get reports about vulnerable connections from our clients with information about domains, public IPs, etc. That would be highly useful."
"Some features, like encryption, are not available."
"It would be helpful for customers if Plan 1 features were included with EOP."
"The reporting needs a little bit of improvement."
"The solution must improve the user experience."
