Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The integration capabilities are good."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"More integration would be beneficial."
