Featured Reviews

Jovan Jovanovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Collects valuable endpoint data with good analytics and helpful scalability
This is a question for the partners who implement and install it. I am not involved in the implementation process, so I cannot suggest improvements. As mentioned, this is a query for my presales team, not me. I am part of the security team lead, focusing mainly on sales. Regarding the product, Fortinet could consider reducing the minimum order quantity for EDR, currently set at 500 pieces. In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The data collected from the endpoint where the EDR is installed is highly valuable for me."
"This is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The solution is scalable."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
 

Cons

"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"The support needs improvement."
"In smaller markets like Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, it can be challenging to find customers with 500 endpoints. My suggestion to Fortinet would be to lower this minimum order quantity to one."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"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."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"Installing Kaspersky is complex. It requires more work from system admins and takes almost one week to deploy, including integration and mapping with other solutions. You also have to configure Kaspersky EDR sandboxing then set up permissions for various teams and customers."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."
"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"The pricing is good."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."

"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
