"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"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."

"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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 solution is not stable."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"Too many false positives."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"Data loss prevention (DLP) in email security."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
