Featured Reviews

Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"The Management interface of the product is relatively user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"One of the good features is the provider's Faulting capability. If any of our systems detect malware, we can check the behavior of the malware by sending it to Kaspersky's sandbox environment. This helps us assess how destructive the malware is. After analyzing it, we can create use cases and protection measures based on that behavior. So, this is the best feature of Kaspersky."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"It is a secure solution with a lot of IT management features."
"Kaspersky offers more visible and comprehensive features compared to other products."
"The product is integrated with endpoint protection. We don't have to implement a separate technology. It provides visibility over the endpoints."
 

Cons

"If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"Technical support needs to be improved, along with the response time."
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"As I understand there will be a URL filtering feature included with the browser agent in the future. This will allow URL filtering without the need for a Gateway Device. This is something I am looking forward to and would be a great addition to list of features."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"The endpoint might consume excessive resources from the machine, which can impact its performance."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"My team was struggling with the reporting when we were doing an audit. The console features are a little more interactive and user-friendly. There's some issue, or maybe some fixing has to be done."
"One of the main areas where the tool could improve is its integration capabilities. For example, I find it challenging to integrate it with other solutions. It would be helpful if the tool could make it more open to integration with other tools."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface."
