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

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

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"The security features are very valuable."

"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."

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

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

More Tanium 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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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

"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."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"They could improve the UI."

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

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

More Tanium cons
