Security features excel while management tools face challenges

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has proven to be a robust and comprehensive solution for endpoint protection. So far, no major negative features have been observed. However, email security integration with Microsoft 365 has room for improvement. In a recent real-world incident, a company received 10 phishing emails, of which only three were blocked by the system. Enhancing detection accuracy to block 7 or more would significantly improve trust and effectiveness. With the on-premises version, there's a known issue where assigning a device to a new group results in it being auto-assigned back to the previous group. Fixing this bug would greatly streamline device management. Additionally, in the cloud version, once a device is assigned to a user, it cannot be reassigned without deleting the user or the device entirely. It would be far more user-friendly if the platform allowed simple reassignment or de-assignment, returning the device to an "unassigned" state. As for automated behavioral analysis, while current functionality is based on machine learning, upgrading to true AI-powered detection could bring substantial improvements. Ideally, the system should proactively flag potential threats, and offer administrators the option to either allow or block applications based on intelligent risk analysis

Has supported compliance needs for mid-sized organizations but lacks customization and advanced integration

If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is. This is where it can improve if we keep in front the feature sets of a complete SIEM solution. Most common in the market is QRadar, but it is depleting now. It has been taken over by some other products such as Splunk and LogRhythm. If we compare these things with Rapid7 InsightIDR, then there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled. Data retention is also one concern because Rapid7 InsightIDR is cloud-based and operates on a subscription model. Whatever data you want to retain, it has to be paid for separately or it has a cost. Other solutions that are on-premises can have their own infrastructure or they provide some data retention for a month or in some capacity-wise, they provide that solution to them which makes them more attractive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."

"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."

"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."

"All features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud are perfect, and I am interested in working with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."

"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."

"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."

"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"Kaspersky's cloud solution should be improved because the on-premises features are unavailable in the cloud."

"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."

"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."

"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."

"Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM."

"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."

"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."

"Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud cons

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."

"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."

"If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is."

"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."

"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud more accessible in terms of pricing."

"The platform is expensive."

"We had to pay an annual licensing fee for KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud."

"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"The product is averagely priced."

"The product’s price is flexible."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
