Pros
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors""The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other.""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.""Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.""The price is low and quite competitive with others.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""The stability is very good.""he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."

"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints.""It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention.""In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects.""We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine.""In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security.""The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature.""The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Pros →

"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering.""The tool provides automated responses.""The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good.""The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices.""The solution is very easy to use.""When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly.""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.""WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."

Cons
"Intelligence aspects need 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.""ZTNA can improve latency.""Detections could be improved.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""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.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""The SIEM could be improved."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware.""Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement.""Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM.""It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses.""Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline.""One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process.""The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Cons →

"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.""The website must provide more information on the product.""When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier.""The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved.""WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port.""The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup.""The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved.""The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    Hackers are designing malware to be more sophisticated than ever. Through packing, encryption, and polymorphism, cyber criminals are able to disguise their attacks to avoid detection. Zero day threats and advanced malware easily slip by antivirus solutions that are simply too slow to respond to the constant stream of emerging threats. Organizations of all sizes need a solution that leverages a holistic approach to security from the network to the endpoint. WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response (TDR) is a powerful collection of advanced malware defense tools that correlate threat indicators from Firebox appliances and Host Sensors to stop known, unknown and evasive malware threats.
