Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Solid security and performance; overall a useful tool
My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives. This service is painful for network administrators. I would like for this solution to better integrate with other solutions, especially with our network solution. I would also like for the support response time to be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"The most valuable feature is Endpoint's management."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
 

Cons

"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
