Great threat response, provides for proactivity, and has automated threat identification

In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite. When I say this, I understand the Pakistani market and how slow and less eager organizations are to invest in IT and internet security. Most of them don't invest until or unless they face any attack or network failure. However, in addition to the product, Kaspersky should give EDR-Optimum on the cloud for less than 300 users as well, in case any customer has its whole network on the cloud. That way they can easily use it.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting

We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is effective, especially in isolating computers from the network when needed."

"Instead of having to wait for alerts, the IT security team can actively hunt for threats by proactively scanning endpoints to spot anomalies and security breaches."

"What we like most about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its prompt response. We also like that it does scans on a daily basis, over every laptop or machine we set it for, and it also generates the report daily."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum have met our requirements."

"Support has been helpful."

"The solution is easy to use."

"It fulfills security and protection requirements against newly discovered malware, especially ransomware attacks."

"Overall, I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum an eight out of ten."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pros

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."

"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."

"We face challenges with the automated effective awareness platform program (ASAP), particularly with its implementation. It is difficult and not effective for us yet."

"Security features could be improved."

"The central management needs improvement. The ease of use for updating and managing through the web console is difficult and lacks features."

"The initial setup is a bit difficult."

"The solution can improve the uninstallation process. The removal of the agent can be difficult. The purpose is for security, but it requires a lot of time and sometimes a special tool."

"The technology grows day by day, so we need to check for updates and do the updates daily. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten. Compatibility could also be improved in the product."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum cons

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good, not too high."

"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten. You need to pay about 80,000 rupees yearly for the tool. There are no additional costs associated with the product."

"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."

"The pricing is totally reasonable."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is more affordable than the endpoint security product of Fortinet. Whether it's worth the money depends on your security strategy."

"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is affordability, even for companies with limited budgets, such as those in the Pakistani market. It is a subscription-based license."

"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pricing and cost advice

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"The pricing is high."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
