Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to manage."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"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 feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"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."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"The interface is very good."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
 

Cons

"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"Could include some additional protection."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"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 pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
