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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"We can scale the solution."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
 

Cons

"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."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"Could include some additional protection."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."
"The reporting could be improved."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."

"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
