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

ROI

Sentiment score

Fortinet FortiEDR offers enhanced security and ROI with minimal weekly effort, boosting visibility and customer satisfaction over four years.
Sentiment score
6.1
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud offers reasonable pricing and savings but may require supplementary solutions for complete protection.
 

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
4.7
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud's customer service is mixed, praised for initial help but criticized for slow responses and limited access.
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.
They should start offering sessions if there's some critical error occurring, even if someone has to pay for the support.
 

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
6.2
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is highly scalable, supporting growth from a few to hundreds of users, with room for process improvement.
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.
If you assign a device to a user in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, you cannot reassign it to another user.
 

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
7.5
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is stable and effective in malware detection, though some users report occasional update issues.
After that, I stopped scanning the Cisco AnyConnect and switched to Fortinet VPN. Everything worked fine afterward.
For stability, I would give it a score of ten, as we are not having any issues with that currently.
 

Room For Improvement

Fortinet FortiEDR needs improved cloud security, automation, and user interface for better market acceptance and competitive advantage.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud requires enhancements in stability, scalability, feature expansion, usability, support, and advanced threat detection.
Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces.
If a customer suddenly experiences an issue on the website while the console is under maintenance, it becomes impossible to provide or allow access through the cloud console.
Recently, there was a company which was attacked by phishing emails, and out of 10, it was only blocking three emails.
 

Setup Cost

Fortinet FortiEDR offers competitive pricing but may have high setup costs, with potential savings through Fortinet's channel model.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective, flexible, industry-standard enterprise solution with transparent annual pricing and no hidden costs.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Fortinet FortiEDR offers robust EDR capabilities, efficient resource use, and seamless integration, ensuring scalable, user-friendly cybersecurity for organizations.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud offers comprehensive protection with advanced features, Microsoft 365 integration, and reliable performance.
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.
Endpoint Detection and Response functionality includes root cause analysis and device isolation.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is one of the best, very effective software because of its vulnerability assessment and threat assessments.

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.

Security features excel while management tools face challenges
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has proven to be a robust and comprehensive solution for endpoint protection. So far, no major negative features have been observed. However, email security integration with Microsoft 365 has room for improvement. In a recent real-world incident, a company received 10 phishing emails, of which only three were blocked by the system. Enhancing detection accuracy to block 7 or more would significantly improve trust and effectiveness. With the on-premises version, there's a known issue where assigning a device to a new group results in it being auto-assigned back to the previous group. Fixing this bug would greatly streamline device management. Additionally, in the cloud version, once a device is assigned to a user, it cannot be reassigned without deleting the user or the device entirely. It would be far more user-friendly if the platform allowed simple reassignment or de-assignment, returning the device to an "unassigned" state. As for automated behavioral analysis, while current functionality is based on machine learning, upgrading to true AI-powered detection could bring substantial improvements. Ideally, the system should proactively flag potential threats, and offer administrators the option to either allow or block applications based on intelligent risk analysis
