Great threat response, provides for proactivity, and has automated threat identification
In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite. When I say this, I understand the Pakistani market and how slow and less eager organizations are to invest in IT and internet security. Most of them don't invest until or unless they face any attack or network failure. However, in addition to the product, Kaspersky should give EDR-Optimum on the cloud for less than 300 users as well, in case any customer has its whole network on the cloud. That way they can easily use it.

User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is lightweight and does not slow down the PC. The malware and virus detection rate is also very good."
"It offers features like system hardening, vulnerability management, patch management, and device control, which are not present in other solutions."
"One of the most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is its cloud console allows users to remotely isolate a single computer from a network in the event of an attack, enabling them to perform root cause analysis without disrupting the entire network. This is particularly useful for organizations that may not have expert resources for endpoint detection and response."
"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."
"The solution is very user friendly, which we appreciate."
"Support has been helpful."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a strong yet lightweight tool. It allows us to control machines even when disconnected from the network. In offline mode, we can generate passwords and access the system. The policies it offers are robust."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"Security features could be improved."
"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."
"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"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."
"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."
"Occasionally, I encounter connection problems, and the signal is not very good."
"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."
"In terms of the Pakistani market and talking from a salesperson's perspective, I'd suggest that Kaspersky introduce a bundle of Kaspersky EDR-Optimum or Kaspersky EDR-Expert along with its Business Select/Advance suite."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."
"The pricing is totally reasonable."
"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The price is good, not too high."
"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is more affordable than the endpoint security product of Fortinet. Whether it's worth the money depends on your security strategy."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten. You need to pay about 80,000 rupees yearly for the tool. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is affordability, even for companies with limited budgets, such as those in the Pakistani market. It is a subscription-based license."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
