Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, users favor Cortex XDR, mainly because its pricing is more reasonable than that of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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 ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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 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."
"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."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"Center Management"
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"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."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"There were issues with the cloud management."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
