Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"One of the good features is the provider's Faulting capability. If any of our systems detect malware, we can check the behavior of the malware by sending it to Kaspersky's sandbox environment. This helps us assess how destructive the malware is. After analyzing it, we can create use cases and protection measures based on that behavior. So, this is the best feature of Kaspersky."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"I want to be able to use the product as a patch management tool for my endpoints since it is an area that is not working effectively for me."
"The main issue was compatibility with the cloud itself. The CPU usage immediately spiked, causing the machines to hang and sometimes even forcing server or computer restarts."
"The solution must provide better security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
