Efficiently monitoring and detecting suspicious activities
One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments. For instance, once we were connecting different parts in China, and we had to reserve resources for the blue source of the login of task no v. ConnectWise Fortify successfully mitigated the issue and monitored any suspicious activity in the Microsoft environment. Despite the inconvenience, the Microsoft environment is still active and susceptible to cyber threats. We do a lot of research and utilize ConnectWise Fortify to restart and restore the system. It's essential to have a solution like ConnectWise Fortify to protect against cyber threats.
Majid  Ali - PeerSpot reviewer
Security tool provides basic protection but faces challenges in support and feature set
I'm facing challenges because the local support is not up to mark, and its features are not comparable to industry-leading solutions such as CrowdStrike and Trend Micro. Kaspersky needs to improve its local support to become a better product for future releases. The local support is inadequate, and compared to Trend Micro and CrowdStrike, many features are missing in this tool regarding investigation, threat hunting, and threat intelligence. These features are not up to mark in this tool compared to other EDR solutions, and the interface is very unfriendly.

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"From my point of view, one of the best aspects of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its high detection rate, which surpasses many other solutions. Its valuable features include behavior detection, threat prevention, device control, adaptive anomaly control, and centralized protection detection."
"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"One of the good features is the provider's Faulting capability. If any of our systems detect malware, we can check the behavior of the malware by sending it to Kaspersky's sandbox environment. This helps us assess how destructive the malware is. After analyzing it, we can create use cases and protection measures based on that behavior. So, this is the best feature of Kaspersky."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"One of the main areas where the tool could improve is its integration capabilities. For example, I find it challenging to integrate it with other solutions. It would be helpful if the tool could make it more open to integration with other tools."
"I want to be able to use the product as a patch management tool for my endpoints since it is an area that is not working effectively for me."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"Incorporating an AI protection tool with the capability to detect and prevent zero-day threats, particularly those with a five-star rating in terms of severity would be beneficial."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"The solution must provide better security."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing was high during the last renewal."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
