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…

Integrates well with our existing SIEM tool and helps in identifying suspicious activities
The solution's integration with our existing security infrastructure is good. Whenever we have any alert in VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, we can easily that alert in our SIEM tool and check logs from the SIEM tool itself. VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is just a secondary security tool for us, and we are just monitoring the alerts from it. The solution's behavioral analytics feature helps in identifying suspicious activities pretty well. Whenever we have even a small thing, we get an alert. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Performance-wise, the solution is doing great in terms of connecting to the host directly. Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours. A malware scan is something that we do only on Carbon Black for the old endpoint devices and servers. It used to take sometimes three days to perform. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is decent."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"I found it very valuable as a whole. It is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe. It is also very easy to use."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
 

Cons

"It consumes many system resources."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"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."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The support is poor."
"Occasionally, we'll have issues with the latest version and they'll basically tell us that they will improve it in the next iteration. They need to work on their version release quality."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"It would be a better solution if Carbon Black Cb Defense had an on-promise solution and a virus auto delete or quarantine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."

"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."

"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
