"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The user interface of ESET Endpoint Security could be more user-friendly and more features could be added."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."
"Security features could be improved."
"For improvement, they should make the scanning process faster. The scanning and updating take more time."
"The technology grows day by day, so we need to check for updates and do the updates daily. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten. Compatibility could also be improved in the product."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"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."
"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."
