Pros

"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 most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"It is easy to manage."
"It helps improve security in our organization."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"The tool provides automated responses."
 

Cons

"We would like to have better strategic information."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"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."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"Could include some additional protection."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The interface is not the best."
