We performed a comparison between Intercept X Endpoint and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) 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."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"The product is user-friendly."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"Detections could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"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."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive. It should improve its stability."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"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."
"Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."
