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."The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum have met our requirements."
"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."
"EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness."
"The product is lightweight and does not slow down the PC. The malware and virus detection rate is also very good."
"The performance is good."
"The solution is very user friendly, which we appreciate."
"Support has been helpful."

"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The licensing model is complex to understand. It requires expertise to explain how the licensing works. You need expertise to guide you through the subscription plan."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Scalability depends on various factors."
"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite."
"Security features could be improved."
"For improvement, they should make the scanning process faster. The scanning and updating take more time."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum would be to provide the cloud console platform to all users, regardless of the number of licenses a company has purchased. For example, a company with 50 employees should have access to the cloud console platform even if they have only purchased a certain number of licenses for the solution."
