Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"It was easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"After deploying Bitdefender, it provides detailed logs about any threats encountered and quarantines the threat. It synchronizes this information, and you can see which PC or device faced the threat when you log into the console."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
"It offers very good security protection."
"Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"The deployment could be better."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved"
