FortiClient vs. Kaspersky EDR Expert

Forticlient works well for us as a component of Fortinet's overall security fabric. We use Forticlient alongside Fortigate and FortiAnalyser to create our endpoint security posture. We found deploying Forticlient simplistic, and our end users respond well to any application notifications and make use of the VPN client with little training.

It is a very comprehensive product to learn everything about incidents on the windows hosts. Also EDR can create some incidents during its analyze. But it is pretty useless when we are talking about linux systems. Further it is not so good when algorithms are not described clearly (like it was when we used Traps). So there are some ways to improve the product

• [FortiClient] splits the traffic very well. For example, when users connect a VPN to the office they are connecting to the internal system which uses VPN traffic. If users access the public internet they use the internet traffic, but [Fortinet] does not route this traffic back to the office.

• Detection
• Embedded Sandbox is a really good stuff, I can see detailed activity with visualization of any malicious sample
• Simple interface. Usability.

• font way too small on login, unable to select an option, for example, to see each letter of password as typed promotes errors at login
• login errors and failure rate extremely high as [reported] by all our physicians and other providers: not infrequently one will have to return to office after hours in order to complete charts or access charts to answer patient after hours questions
• frequent disconnects in spite of excellent internet signal
• unacceptable interruptions in patient care

• It would be nice to have more insight into the kill chain of potential infections and malware.
• Remote interface is a little lacking as to why a file was flagged.

Because the software is very simple and easy to use, very efficient, and has a stable connection that allows the user to perform tasks without problems. Also, this software does not need to be configured by IT technicians, since it comes with a very developed and understandable set up guide.

I believe the Kaspersky EDR Expert systems represent significant cyber risks for government and commercial enterprise customers

The FortiClient is a piece of software that works super well once it is on a stable version and does not receive multiple updates. However, it will pickup mysterious bugs in newer versions that are tough to diagnose without simply rolling back. The update process is easy, but it requires EMS exposed to the internet to use the built-in functionality.

FortiClient is a security suite with which we can keep our equipment well-protected. And it is that in a system like Windows, which is always the target of all kinds of attacks, it is not enough to have a simple antivirus.

The service and memory consumption were too much when I was using those apps, And because of high memory consumption, my system was heating, Slow in operations, and the battery was also draining. For the above reasons, I moved to Forticlient.

Kaspersky EDR Expert delivers much better protection and detection rate

• I have more flexibility in working remotely, knowing that I have a reliable and secure way of accessing files on my work network. This increased flexibility has led to better productivity, more freedom to work when and how I want, and confidence in knowing I can access what I need to when I need to.
• Working with employees on the other side of the world, I have confidence in sharing my files with them by simply working on my local network. This increases collaboration, speed, and efficiency.

• Automating response task on suspicious activity
• Improving IT specialists skills and IS specialists skills
• Increased visibility of what malware really do on endpoint
