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.

Pros

"From my point of view, one of the best aspects of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its high detection rate, which surpasses many other solutions. Its valuable features include behavior detection, threat prevention, device control, adaptive anomaly control, and centralized protection detection."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"It is a secure solution with a lot of IT management features."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The product is integrated with endpoint protection. We don't have to implement a separate technology. It provides visibility over the endpoints."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
"The solution is scalable."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"My team was struggling with the reporting when we were doing an audit. The console features are a little more interactive and user-friendly. There's some issue, or maybe some fixing has to be done."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive. It should improve its stability."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"The only area for improvement is regarding operational technology devices, specifically the engineering automation systems."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing was high during the last renewal."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"The product is cheap."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"Our costs were somewhere around $600K in Trinidad dollars, which might be about $100K US. We have the ETP plus the EDR. Our recent renewal was 1800 licenses as opposed to the full amount. Our transaction cost was about $600K Trinidad dollars, which is somewhere around $90-100K US."
