We performed a comparison between Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business and Sophos EPP Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Kaspersky protects our company from ransomware attacks. We have multiple sites across the country, including the principal headquarters and different towns. We can see any viruses that are in the network and take action."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"The policies are easy to make and controlled by the Kaspersky Administrative Security Center, which comes at no additional costs."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have."
"It is a scalable platform."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."
"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 support needs improvement."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
