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…

"The solution is scalable."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"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."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

Cons

"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"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."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"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 most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"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."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"They could improve the UI."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
