"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"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 protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."

"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"It consumes many system resources."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
