Jovan Jovanovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup is pretty simple."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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 most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"The pricing is decent."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"It's scalable enough for us."
 

Cons

"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
