Featured Reviews

Mostafa Ameen - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations
The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"The most valuable feature is Endpoint's management."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"The product is very easy to use."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
 

Cons

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"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."
