We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"The content filtering options are good."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"It is easy to manage."
"Has great behavior detection and a very good firmware scanner."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."

"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"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."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"Could include some additional protection."
