Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

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 features are the reports."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"It helps improve security in our organization."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"We can scale the solution."
"The product is very easy to use."
"It is easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"The solution can scale well."
"IPS and the user interface are good features."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"There are times when Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response tags an executable as malicious when it is trying to get executed on the machine. In this case, it prevents the execution and it gives you a process view of things where you can look into what has happened and whether it is a genuine process trying to access some system activities, or it's a malicious one. Depending upon the process, it gives you a clear identification, and we can do the containment from the interface itself and isolate the machine from the network. The process review on network isolation is good."
 

Cons

"The solution could always be more secure."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"Could include some additional protection."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
"The GUI could be better."
"The interface is very complicated."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
