Fabulous range of features not available elsewhere
Pros and Cons
- "Has some great features not available elsewhere."
- "The solution lacks DLP."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
In my opinion Kaspersky is the best product on the market. It's very easy to handle, user-friendly and they provide a lot of features that are difficult to find in other endpoint solutions. Kaspersky provides great features and endpoint protection.
What needs improvement?
The only problem we have with the solution is that DLP is not a part of it. It's particularly relevant for those working in financial markets, especially in Pakistan where it's deployed in banks. DLP would make EDR a complete package. The lack of DLP is the main reason that our company is moving away from Kaspersky EDR.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for five years.

We are using it to protect our user end. For the server-side, we are using Trend Micro.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to manage.
The initial setup is simple.
It is stable.
We have local support available to us.
What needs improvement?
I could be covering more devices, for example, the XDR. If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR.

Around 2,000 people use the solution. We do not plan to increase usage.
How are customer service and support?
We have a local company here in Pakistan that we get support from.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The initial implementation process is easy and very straightforward. It's not overly complex. It only takes one to two days to handle the complete deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not sure about how the licensing works. It may be per user. I'm not certain.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. I don't have that information.
I'm not directly using this Kaspersky solution. The other team is managing the solution, and that's why I don't have much personal experience. I do not manage it directly.
I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies.
I'd rate the product seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A stable and scalable tool with a complex setup phase
Pros and Cons
- "It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
- "I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for the new threat landscape since personal endpoints are not enough for protection. So customers are looking for, you know, endpoint detection and response. So they can centrally manage all endpoints and communicate data across every endpoint that they have on the network. So we have been using, like, the normal endpoint detection, endpoint protection. And after that, we deployed EDR and Azure for a few customers, which are kind of separate products. Actually, the experience was not that great in terms of the approach to EDR for Kaspersky because it wasn't one product. It's two different products that are working together. They kind of integrated, like, two products integrating with each other. But the performance and the administration become a headache for the administrators.
What needs improvement?
In terms of the protection itself, Kaspersky has been doing a great job. It's just the approach, the technology itself, performance, and impact on the systems it's protecting, that are more of a concern. The concern is significant, especially when compared to alternatives that are more lightweight and available on a cloud platform. So, the aforementioned areas should be considered for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert for two years. My company is a reseller of Kaspersky. We have been working with Kaspersky for almost ten years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. I recommend the solution for small to medium businesses since its deployment and management are complex and bigger enterprises could go for cloud-based or move towards the next-gen solutions rather than Kaspersky.
How are customer service and support?
I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team. In my opinion, right from the start, they should offer good support.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process was complex when considering that it's just to get in the integration right from the start .So, there have been some issues where we had to contact Kaspersky and have the engineers work it out for us. So, it could have been a much simpler way to do it. The deployment process took two weeks with the help of three to four engineers who normally handle such stuff.
What about the implementation team?
Kaspersky helped us with the implementation part.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?
We have used technical support. They are very reactive and experienced.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did use any other EDR solutions. We also have experience with Norton, for example. The experience was not positive.
How was the initial setup?
My understanding is that the solution is easy to set up. However, I did not participate in the setup.
It took two days to deploy the solution.
In terms of planning, we are looking to fully deploy it in the next two months.
We have about ten technical people that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. We had two main people managing it, and others handled the systems and network.
What about the implementation team?
We did not need a consultant. We had an integrator handling the setup, and it was easy to deploy it. Typically, it can be handled by a technical team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a license that covers 100 people. We have a license that we pay yearly. We generally pay for two years at a time.
The licenses are affordable.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user. The solution is new to me. I'm not sure of the version number we are using.
I'd recommend the solution to others. We plan to integrate it with more things and help control more devices. We'll integrate it with our network assessment devices as well.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

The firewall options are impressive, the solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic. It's very easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to operate.
What needs improvement?
No product is perfect and I think the stability could be improved a little. I'd also like to see performance improvement as the system can be heavy, slowing down our computers, and things don't always work smoothly. Performance could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've had a license with Kaspersky for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We have around 700 users in the company.
How was the initial setup?
EDR is deployed from the server, it's an easy and manageable process. It's a matter of the system administrator running the profile from the server.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a three-year license. It was initially very reasonably priced but we are based in Pakistan and we are not doing well against the dollar so the price has increased significantly.
What other advice do I have?
I've recommended this solution to many colleagues. I think Kaspersky is a reliable and stable solution.
I rate this solution nine out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Senior Manager Cyber Security Services & Solutions at Trillium
Their products are generally effective in guessing attacks or thwarting different types of unknown malicious techniques
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
- "Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
What is our primary use case?
Kaspersky EDR is a targeted solution that collects telemetry and forensics data as well as end-to-end IoCs. It does not use any signatures.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex.
What needs improvement?
Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Kaspersky EDR for about four or five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Performance is one area where Kaspersky has room for improvement. The solution must be fast when it's acquiring telemetry data because the attack surface is unforgiving. The solution must be extremely fast with a high response time.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Kaspersky is scalable, but it lacks built-in high availability and disaster recovery. Currently, you need a third-party solution to provide high availability.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Kaspersky support eight out of 10. We have never had any serious issues with their support. They take some time to respond, but they always provide the best solution.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Kaspersky isn't straightforward, but their guide is good. The documentation is fairly well-defined, so we just need to follow that. At the same time, it isn't easy because sometimes there are errors. I rate Kaspersky EDR six out of 10 for ease of installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The license is competitive. Pricing is another Kaspersky advantage.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There is a lot of competition in the EDR category. As resellers in the industry for so long, we're aware of the various products to choose from. Kaspersky's strong point is detection. They have a huge threat intelligence and R&D team. Their threat detection is among the industry's best. Their products are generally effective in guessing attacks or detecting different types of unknown malicious techniques. They also have a great sandbox with their EDR solution.
Their weakness is performance, but detection is one of the best in the industry, if not the best. Kaspersky is always at the top of any third-party analysis of EDR products.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response eight out of 10.
