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

"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."

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

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

"I would say that Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is one of the best, very effective software because of its vulnerability assessment and threat assessments."

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

"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."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."

"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."

"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."

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

"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"While the product provides a good level of protection, we need better support, especially in terms of being kept informed about new threats and specific configurations needed."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud cons

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

"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."

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

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

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

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

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

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is flexible."

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

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

"The product is averagely priced."

"The pricing is favorable, and there are no additional expenses associated with using the product."

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

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"The platform is expensive."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"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."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."

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

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
