Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."
"Kaspersky Total Security has valuable reporting features regarding visibility for trusted sites and safe browsing."
"It automatically identifies potential threats in emails, websites, and documents, swiftly blocking or quarantining anything harmful to prevent any damage or infection to my system."
"Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
"The solution is efficient."
"There has been a return on investment for our small and medium business users."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."
"The software is easy to install."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."

"Anti-malware and anti-phishing policies in the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool could be cheaper."
"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."
