"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Scalability is good."
"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."
"It is stable."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."

"All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert offers centralized monitoring where we can monitor everything from a single point. I also like its security and network traffic features."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."

"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers."
"We tried to set up Sophos Zero Trust within my Sophos central cloud. It only works with Microsoft and I use Google. I'd like to see Google added."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"Could include some additional protection."
