In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature.

The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly.

The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution.

First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me.

The solution needs to lower its pricing.

The product is expensive.

There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues.

Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license.

More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities.

This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control.

The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem.

I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing.

The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue.

The installation is technical. You need to be certified.
