Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, users favor Cortex XDR, mainly because its pricing is more reasonable than that of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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"
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"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."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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 EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
