"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."

"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
