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

Stable product with an ability to build complex roles

We use Tanium as an EDR solution for managing end-user devices and servers The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors. Tanium's dashboard UI could be similar to CrowdStrike. We have been using Tanium for two and a half years. The product is stable. I rate…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."

"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

Cons

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud cons

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"The reporting could be improved."

More Tanium cons
