"The solution is reliable."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 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 should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."

"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
