Kaspersky support varies in effectiveness; premium support offers faster response, while others face delays and prefer local assistance.
When it comes to technical support provided by BlackBerry, my experience has been somewhat slow; if a problem arises, we often have to wait for a reply.
From my perspective, the local team and the support team of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert need to be more accurate and more responsible.
I haven't used technical support from Kaspersky extensively, but I can rate it as good, around eight out of ten.
Kaspersky supports us; when we and the analyst with Kaspersky grade it, we are almost prepared to respond to our questions with my team.

Sentiment score
6.1
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is highly rated for its stability and reliable protection despite minor console issues.
Regarding stability, I have no complaints as CylanceOPTICS has proven to be totally stable, and as of now, we have not encountered any instability.
I haven't found any issues with this particular solution, and there's no room for improvement for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert.
Stability issues are not complex due to the easy Quadrigia method in the console.
 

Room For Improvement

CylanceOPTICS needs enhancements in threat automation, detection, and management, facing issues with false positives and scalability.
Kaspersky EDR Expert requires UI improvement, better cloud integration, resource efficiency, wider OS support, and more affordable pricing.
Whenever a ticket is raised by one of our customers, we have to wait for responses which can take a whole day due to the time zone differences, and a local team could expedite this process.
Compared to my previous product, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is not up to the mark; it's below my rating.
Deployment with the console directly, without depending on other workers to deploy the agents, would be beneficial.
It should include zero-time protection.
 

Setup Cost

CylanceOPTICS pricing is competitive and affordable, with annual costs under $100 per client, often bundled with services.
Kaspersky EDR Expert is competitively priced for medium to large enterprises but may be costly for smaller companies.
In terms of cost, I find CylanceOPTICS to be reasonable; it's not overly expensive, nor is it at the lower end of the market—it's positioned in the medium range.
Compared to other products, the pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is almost the same.
The pricing is nominal when we compare it with other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

CylanceOPTICS provides AI-driven threat detection with auto-containment, script control, and behavior analytics, offering trusted, real-time security solutions.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert provides advanced threat detection, strong protection, and affordability, ideal for financial institutions.

Featured Reviews

GauthamVakapalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides reliable threat detection and response but requires better regional support
One improvement I suggest for CylanceOPTICS is more robust marketing efforts from their side. Many customers gravitate towards popular EDRs like CrowdStrike or Sophos, largely due to better marketing, despite BlackBerry Cylance being a superior product. The lack of marketing from distributors or vendors is a critical area where they are falling short. Apart from marketing, it would be beneficial for CylanceOPTICS to establish a dedicated team in GCC since I coordinate with the UK team to handle support. Whenever a ticket is raised by one of our customers, we have to wait for responses which can take a whole day due to the time zone differences, and a local team could expedite this process. In terms of scalability, CylanceOPTICS is indeed easy to scale, but one issue I face is related to visibility; while it is scalable, the security teams struggle with limited visibility as we need to gather data from multiple sources.
