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…

Shows promise for endpoint detection and response, with room for improvement in complexity and pricing
VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network. When a machine is quarantined, it cannot communicate with any other machines on the network except for the Carbon Black Cloud server. This allows you to investigate the machine without the risk of malware escaping to the network. Carbon Black Cloud's server can communicate with the quarantined machine through DNS and VSCP. This allows you to collect data from the machine, such as system logs, process activity, and registry changes. This data can be used to investigate the infection and determine the next steps. CrowdStrike and Cybereason are also popular EDR solutions. They offer similar features to VMware Carbon Black Cloud but may have different strengths and weaknesses. It is important to evaluate all of your options before choosing an EDR solution. Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"The content filtering options are good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"The enhanced logging and data analysis of the incident response and investigation components allowed us to quickly identify and resolve security issues before they could spread."
"Probably the most valuable feature of CB Response is its ability to isolate a host and take it off the network, so it's not spreading anything. We have two security operations centers around the globe. When an SOC analyst sees something on an endpoint, they can use Carbon Black Response to isolate that host from the customer's environment and prevent any kind of lateral spread."
"The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good."
"The ability to quickly isolate a system from the network, while still being able to perform some forensics and mitigation work remotely, was of great value to us since we had many mobile and distributed systems."
"​The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver."
"The most valuable features are the threat-hunting and the batch console."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network."
"For setup, the server can be given to you as a VM image and with minimal configuration needed."
 

Cons

"The solution could always be more secure."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"The solution can only handle about 500 bans or blocks."
"They need to improve the batch console. It needs more capabilities. We are limited by the ones it provides..."
"The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time."
"They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents"
"There have been some performance issues when deploying on Windows Server, but I believe Carbon Black is working on that."
"It's not simple."
"The threat intelligence feed could use some fine tweaking."
"Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"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 worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten 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."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
"You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
"The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
"We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
