Featured Reviews

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.
SupravatMaji - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability
My advice to those wanting to implement RSA NetWitness Network is they have to first do a little due diligence, such as the exact requirement based on their needs. That will give them a direction for their investment because otherwise, the bill of material or bill of quantity (BOQ) may be higher side. It is important to do good due intelligence on the environment, see the exact requirement, and then go ahead with the solution. The solution is perfectly stable. I rate RSA NetWitness Network a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages."
"Kaspersky EDR is far superior to other products. It gives detailed information about malware, geolocation, and more. Also, the agent itself is very lightweight compared to other products. The packages and updates were quite small in size, just a few KBs."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"Kaspersky offers more visible and comprehensive features compared to other products."
"The advanced detection features are valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The log correlation is good."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
 

Cons

"I want to be able to use the product as a patch management tool for my endpoints since it is an area that is not working effectively for me."
"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."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive. It should improve its stability."
"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."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"Threat detection could be better."
"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"The tool's pricing was high during the last renewal."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."
"It is an expensive product."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."
"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

Kaspersky has a better price than other marketplace solutions. Due to this, they are growing significantly. I like the price. I'd rate it nine out of ten.
What needs improvement with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response?
Cortex is better in the security features, yet Cortex doesn't have IT management features like Kaspersky. Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time.
