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

"Its customer service is quite good."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"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."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it offers very strong encryption and acts as an antivirus product."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"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 find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"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."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
 

Cons

"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"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."
"The reporting could be improved."
"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."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
