Featured Reviews

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…
Sagar Shekhar - PeerSpot reviewer
An open-source tool that offers great automation capabilities
Red Canary MDR generates a lot of output, so it would be good if, in the end, it generates a summary of all the previous attacks and what was the outcome of a single attack, especially so that it becomes easy for the user to see the summary and analyze the whole thing. In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."
"I recommended Red Canary to my friends who work in other organizations."
"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."
"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."
 

Cons

"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"The price could always be better."
"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."
"Red Canary's pricing spectrum may not be ideal for smaller financial institutions."
"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."
"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"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."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"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."
"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."
"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."
"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."
