"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."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"We have had some issues updating Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum."
"EDR Optimum's scalability could be improved."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum would be to provide the cloud console platform to all users, regardless of the number of licenses a company has purchased. For example, a company with 50 employees should have access to the cloud console platform even if they have only purchased a certain number of licenses for the solution."
"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."
"The solution can improve the uninstallation process. The removal of the agent can be difficult. The purpose is for security, but it requires a lot of time and sometimes a special tool."
"In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite."
"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."
