Sentiment score
3.5
Kaspersky Endpoint offers positive ROI, especially for medium-sized businesses, enhancing data security and client confidence.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Fortinet FortiEDR's customer service is responsive but faces occasional delays due to broader reach and non-integrated support.
Sentiment score
5.6
Kaspersky support varies in effectiveness; premium support offers faster response, while others face delays and prefer local assistance.
The technical support from Fortinet is excellent.
For setting up some proper solutions for issues at the customer site, it can take about one week.
From my perspective, the local team and the support team of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert need to be more accurate and more responsible.
I haven't used technical support from Kaspersky extensively, but I can rate it as good, around eight out of ten.
Kaspersky supports us; when we and the analyst with Kaspersky grade it, we are almost prepared to respond to our questions with my team.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Fortinet FortiEDR is highly scalable for enterprises, though some limitations exist with external integrations and cloud environments.
Sentiment score
6.7
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is scalable, supporting various enterprise sizes with potential third-party integrations for high availability.
When implemented in a Fortinet environment with an existing firewall, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiManager, it is straightforward to install and scale by adding more EDR for endpoints.
I can give it nine points in terms of scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.7
Fortinet FortiEDR is stable and reliable but requires maintenance, with occasional issues like memory concerns and false alerts.
Sentiment score
6.1
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is highly rated for its stability and reliable protection despite minor console issues.
However, if a customer prefers not to switch from another VPN solution, FortiEDR might still see it as an issue and detect it as potentially malicious, causing problems in the working environment.
For stability, I would give it a score of ten, as we are not having any issues with that currently.
I haven't found any issues with this particular solution, and there's no room for improvement for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert.
Stability issues are not complex due to the easy Quadrigia method in the console.
 

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiEDR needs improved cloud security, automation, and user interface for better market acceptance and competitive advantage.
Kaspersky EDR Expert requires UI improvement, better cloud integration, resource efficiency, wider OS support, and more affordable pricing.
Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces.
Compared to my previous product, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is not up to the mark; it's below my rating.
Deployment with the console directly, without depending on other workers to deploy the agents, would be beneficial.
It should include zero-time protection.
 

Setup Cost

Fortinet FortiEDR offers competitive pricing but may have high setup costs, with potential savings through Fortinet's channel model.
Kaspersky EDR Expert is competitively priced for medium to large enterprises but may be costly for smaller companies.
It's reasonably priced compared to other vendors' similar products.
The pricing is moderate; I cannot label it as cheap, but it is moderate compared to other main solutions.
Compared to other products, the pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is almost the same.
The pricing is nominal when we compare it with other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Fortinet FortiEDR offers robust EDR capabilities, efficient resource use, and seamless integration, ensuring scalable, user-friendly cybersecurity for organizations.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert provides advanced threat detection, strong protection, and affordability, ideal for financial institutions.
We also require a proactive protection mechanism, including an alarm system for threat detection before attacks occur.
It detects most antiviruses and identifies viruses that other antivirus solutions don't detect.
Almost all our clients use the Patch Management, vulnerability, and integration feature.
The product is strong enough and capable of handling the type of detections as protection and security.

Featured Reviews

Anoop K Jayan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has strengthened endpoint protection for on-premise networks and supported migration to Linux environments
What really stands out in Fortinet FortiEDR is that we are integrating it with some private clouds at the customer's premises with secure SD-WAN networks. I don't know how much it contributes to this SD-WAN network in the own premises cloud solution, but that is what we are doing. This is especially relevant for government projects where the SD-WAN solution is within their private network, not touching the Internet or any other access. Their first requirement is centralized management. Additionally, they need antivirus updates and other things to be done through a centralized platform within that private cloud. That is their requirement, and currently, we temporarily allow internet access, but it is not preferred. We are moving towards a complete air gap, providing full isolation from the internet for that. We have started to work with machine learning capabilities in Fortinet FortiEDR. We are not that well-versed yet, but we have begun using machine learning for intrusion detection and other purposes. Regarding forensic analysis in Fortinet FortiEDR, it is useful in understanding attack vectors because our projects are based on the voice side, such as cloud PBX solutions and call center management. There are media activities and many attacks coming from the outside, as well as vulnerabilities from endpoints. In those cases, we need detailed analysis through an AI platform to inspect how these attacks are coming. We also require a proactive protection mechanism, including an alarm system for threat detection before attacks occur.
