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…

Shows promise for endpoint detection and response, with room for improvement in complexity and pricing
VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network. When a machine is quarantined, it cannot communicate with any other machines on the network except for the Carbon Black Cloud server. This allows you to investigate the machine without the risk of malware escaping to the network. Carbon Black Cloud's server can communicate with the quarantined machine through DNS and VSCP. This allows you to collect data from the machine, such as system logs, process activity, and registry changes. This data can be used to investigate the infection and determine the next steps. CrowdStrike and Cybereason are also popular EDR solutions. They offer similar features to VMware Carbon Black Cloud but may have different strengths and weaknesses. It is important to evaluate all of your options before choosing an EDR solution. Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"​The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver."
"The ability to quickly isolate a system from the network, while still being able to perform some forensics and mitigation work remotely, was of great value to us since we had many mobile and distributed systems."
"The most valuable features are the threat-hunting and the batch console."
"The detection response and quarantining are very good features."
"Carbon Black Cb Response excels at providing context to indicators when responding to incidents. It allows responders to understand the entire scope of an incident and quickly contain it to minimize impact and disruption."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to seek out abnormal activity and to create alerts."
"The solution does very well as a baseline EDR and provides good process-level management."
"The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server. If the primary server goes down, you need a new one. It's not available at the same time, however. It's not automatically swapped from one server to another."
"It's not simple."
"The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions."
"The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time."
"There have been some performance issues when deploying on Windows Server, but I believe Carbon Black is working on that."
"Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved."
"Training and education for both partner and customer, including product marketing need to be improved."
"One area for improvement is the maturity of its vulnerability features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"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 pricing is okay."
"The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
"We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
"You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
"Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
