"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."

"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"It's easy to use."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"We are not able to merge the sub-estates. If we create multiple sub-states and there may be instances where a user is in a different sub-state, it may not be possible for us to relocate that user from one sub-state to another through the console. We have to merge them manually which is not ideal."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"There should be some AI involved. We already have machine learning involved in recent releases but machine learning should be more enhanced in the upcoming versions."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
