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

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven 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

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

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

"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."

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

"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."

"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."

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

"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."

"The UI is very good."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

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

"It is a very stable solution."

Cons

"Recently, there was a company which was attacked by phishing emails, and out of 10, it was only blocking three emails."

"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."

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

"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."

"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."

"One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process."

"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."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud cons

"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."
