"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the management center."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business should improve its reporting. There are also some issues in the cloud portal. The solution's pricing can be cheaper."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
