"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"The solution is very user friendly, which we appreciate."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum have met our requirements."
"It offers features like system hardening, vulnerability management, patch management, and device control, which are not present in other solutions."
"Kaspersky EDR is constantly updated and can respond to any threat nearly in real-time. They work hard to produce all the updates on time."
"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."
"One of the most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its cloud console allows users to remotely isolate a single computer from a network in the event of an attack, enabling them to perform root cause analysis without disrupting the entire network. This is particularly useful for organizations that may not have expert resources for endpoint detection and response."
"Support has been helpful."
"What we like most about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its prompt response. We also like that it does scans on a daily basis, over every laptop or machine we set it for, and it also generates the report daily."

"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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 is a complex solution to implement."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."
"I want Kaspersky to extend its products to internet protection. For example, I would like them to develop a firewall integrated with EDR."
"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."
"We have had some issues updating Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum."
"What I want to be added to Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is a single pane of glass management, where everything is integrated into a single pane of glass."
"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
