Featured Reviews

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
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The solution acts like an advanced antivirus with extended features like logging and automated response to detected threats. This automation helps save time, as the system automatically handles malicious detections and responses without much manual configuration."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
 

Cons

"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."
"When I implemented FortiEDR, it identified Cisco AnyConnect VPN as malicious data, which led to the VPN being cut off. Consequently, people could not work remotely from home."
"The solution is not very user-friendly because adding exceptions or policies involves many steps."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"Installing Kaspersky is complex. It requires more work from system admins and takes almost one week to deploy, including integration and mapping with other solutions. You also have to configure Kaspersky EDR sandboxing then set up permissions for various teams and customers."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"I would like better integration with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no issues with the pricing."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"The hardware costs about €100,000 and about €20,000 annually for access."
"It is expensive and I would rate it 8 on the scale."
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"Offered at a high price"
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."

"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
