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.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI

I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers features like system hardening, vulnerability management, patch management, and device control, which are not present in other solutions."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum have met our requirements."

"The most advantageous aspect is tracking and taking action automatically."

"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."

"It protects against malware and secures the network."

"The solution's most valuable features are the advanced detection and anti-theft features."

"EDR Optimum's best features are its dashboard, control of external media, and user-friendliness."

"Instead of having to wait for alerts, the IT security team can actively hunt for threats by proactively scanning endpoints to spot anomalies and security breaches."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pros

"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."

"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."

"It is stable, and the performance is good."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."

"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

"It is easy to manage."

"I've found it's got excellent web protection."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."

Cons

"To increase the benefits of the product, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service from Kaspersky should be included."

"I want the tool’s pricing to improve."

"Support is an area for improvement. It should have faster response times."

"Security features could be improved."

"They should provide more notifications for incidents and more clarification or information about malicious activity."

"The solution needs to give more control to users on firewalls."

"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."

"EDR Optimum's scalability could be improved."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum cons

"They could have more reports."

"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."

"Their MacOS support isn't that good."

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."

"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."

"t would help if it would monitor the network better."

"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could be made a bit cheaper."

"The tool’s pricing is yearly. The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"Kaspersky gives a consolidated price with a good solution. If we choose something else, we need to add other options on our own."

"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."

"The price is good, not too high."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. It cost approximately €10,000 annually."

"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."

"The pricing is totally reasonable."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pricing and cost advice

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
