Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"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 solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"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 initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"The content filtering options are good."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"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."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"It consumes many system resources."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could improve some issues and add new security files."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
"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."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"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."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
