"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."
"The solution's most valuable features are the advanced detection and anti-theft features."
"What we like most about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its prompt response. We also like that it does scans on a daily basis, over every laptop or machine we set it for, and it also generates the report daily."
"The encryption feature that allows you complete control of your device is what I found most valuable in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum."
"I mostly like how they capture particular files and submit them to other files, and they have the solution console. And for example, we are using the one in for an application, like, on the RansomFree, if there are any vulnerabilities in patches coming, in the future, they fix these."

"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."

Cons

"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"I want Kaspersky to extend its products to internet protection. For example, I would like them to develop a firewall integrated with EDR."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum would be to provide the cloud console platform to all users, regardless of the number of licenses a company has purchased. For example, a company with 50 employees should have access to the cloud console platform even if they have only purchased a certain number of licenses for the solution."
"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."
"We would like more data to be available from this solution, in order for it to be usable in strategic decision making."

"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
