Pros

"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"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."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"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."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"The only area for improvement is regarding operational technology devices, specifically the engineering automation systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"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."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Our costs were somewhere around $600K in Trinidad dollars, which might be about $100K US. We have the ETP plus the EDR. Our recent renewal was 1800 licenses as opposed to the full amount. Our transaction cost was about $600K Trinidad dollars, which is somewhere around $90-100K US."
