Quotes from Members

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

"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"The solution has a high level of trust in the industry."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"It is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The pricing is decent."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
 

Cons

"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."
"It takes more time to investigate or dig up and understand what's going on."
"CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."
"The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions"
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"The product's technical support is slow."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"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."

"I would rate the pricing a three out of five."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
