"The solution is very easy to use."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The interface is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."

"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"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."
"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 administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
