Security features excel while management tools face challenges
Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has proven to be a robust and comprehensive solution for endpoint protection. So far, no major negative features have been observed. However, email security integration with Microsoft 365 has room for improvement. In a recent real-world incident, a company received 10 phishing emails, of which only three were blocked by the system. Enhancing detection accuracy to block 7 or more would significantly improve trust and effectiveness. With the on-premises version, there's a known issue where assigning a device to a new group results in it being auto-assigned back to the previous group. Fixing this bug would greatly streamline device management. Additionally, in the cloud version, once a device is assigned to a user, it cannot be reassigned without deleting the user or the device entirely. It would be far more user-friendly if the platform allowed simple reassignment or de-assignment, returning the device to an "unassigned" state. As for automated behavioral analysis, while current functionality is based on machine learning, upgrading to true AI-powered detection could bring substantial improvements. Ideally, the system should proactively flag potential threats, and offer administrators the option to either allow or block applications based on intelligent risk analysis

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."
"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."
"I would say that Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is one of the best, very effective software because of its vulnerability assessment and threat assessments."
"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."
"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."
 

Cons

"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process."
"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."
"Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement."
"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."
"Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"The platform is expensive."
"We had to pay an annual licensing fee for KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud."
"The pricing is favorable, and there are no additional expenses associated with using the product."
"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."
"The product is averagely priced."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."
"The product’s price is flexible."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
