Room For Improvement

Older endpoints and support services have performance and security issues, lacking 24/7 support and clear deployment processes.
Alert Logic MDR needs UI enhancements, integrated EDR, advanced analytics, intuitive design, and improved documentation for better user experience.
The errors in security management always appear, and I cannot remove them.
General Manager at water company benisuef
Sometimes when we leave it to our clients to deploy themselves, they normally call us and ask us to come and resolve the issue.
Director at Calidad Systems Limited
If Alert Logic MDR not only detected incidents but also allowed us to block those incidents or isolate any affected asset, that would be beneficial.
Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.
Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
One major missing feature was the ability to see if vulnerabilities were exploitable, which required extra effort for us.

Setup Cost

<p>Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides comprehensive enterprise protection with robust features, but it can be resource-intensive.</p>
Alert Logic MDR offers competitive, value-aligned pricing on yearly contracts; costs range from $10-$12 per endpoint via AWS Marketplace.
I think the product's price is not expensive.
General Manager at water company benisuef
The price, which is per endpoint around ten to twelve dollars, and it is a good setup cost.
Soc Analyst at a media company with 501-1,000 employees
The valuable aspect of pricing is that we do not need our own data center and software licensing, which reduces costs.

General Manager at water company benisuef
Centralized protection has improved malware defense and simplifies on‑premises deployment
What I like in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that I tried the deployment on only the endpoint with no EDR, and it is easy to use. Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business's anti-malware feature has a positive effect. Centralized security management in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is good, but many errors appear in the software management.

Endpoint monitoring has become faster and has reduced alert response time for our clients
The best features that Alert Logic MDR offers include AI and behavior analysis, which I find most valuable. AI and behavior analysis mean that within AI there is static AI analysis and behavior analysis with subtypes. For example, if there is any file or a certain subtype, or if ransomware is happening, or any tool or app is being used, there are subtypes of AI. I appreciate that Alert Logic MDR has a separate AI for each type. Alert Logic MDR has positively impacted our organization by minimizing the alert SLA timing. When we used our other endpoint detection and response solution, we required at least fifteen minutes to raise one alert. After using Alert Logic MDR, we integrated it with SOAR technology, so within five minutes, the alert is raised to the client. Efficiency-wise, reducing the alert SLA timing to five minutes has been very beneficial. Whenever we receive an alert from endpoint detection and response from an endpoint to the Alert Logic MDR console, the system directly has the protect mode, conducting the kill and quarantine process itself. We only have to perform static analysis, and we have the playbooks, so they conduct some static analysis from there and directly raise the alert to the respective team.
