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…

Integrates well with our existing SIEM tool and helps in identifying suspicious activities
The solution's integration with our existing security infrastructure is good. Whenever we have any alert in VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, we can easily that alert in our SIEM tool and check logs from the SIEM tool itself. VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is just a secondary security tool for us, and we are just monitoring the alerts from it. The solution's behavioral analytics feature helps in identifying suspicious activities pretty well. Whenever we have even a small thing, we get an alert. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Performance-wise, the solution is doing great in terms of connecting to the host directly. Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours. A malware scan is something that we do only on Carbon Black for the old endpoint devices and servers. It used to take sometimes three days to perform. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"It helps improve security in our organization."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
 

Cons

"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​"
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"This product should be cheaper."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"With the on-prem one, the bug has been reported by the community in early January or February, something like that, at the beginning of the year, and it's still not addressed. They have released two versions since then, and yet neither of them addresses this specific issue."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"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 isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
"It's reasonable in price"
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
