Pros

"It's scalable enough for us."
"The solution is scalable."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"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 alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"The solution is expensive."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten 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."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"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."
