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.
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It has improved our performance and deployment."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The signature update is done securely."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The support needs improvement."
"Detections could be improved."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Malware protection for Kaspersky should be revolutionized, where they no longer work with signatures, but with more advanced ways of detecting malware, such as Cylance or Traps from Palo Alto."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"The performance level could be better."
"It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features."
"The performance is not very good."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
