"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"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."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"The solution can scale easily."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."

"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."

"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"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."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"The tool needs to improve its web filtering feature. Its support quality needs improvement. We speak different languages, and this can create misunderstandings."
"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
