Pros

"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert offers centralized monitoring where we can monitor everything from a single point. I also like its security and network traffic features."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"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."
 

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."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"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

"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"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."
