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.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Support has been helpful."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is effective, especially in isolating computers from the network when needed."

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

"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."

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

"The initial setup was easy."

"The product is lightweight and does not slow down the PC. The malware and virus detection rate is also very good."

"The product's most valuable feature is the flexibility of installation with the console and a simple administration strategy."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pros

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

Cons

"I rate the technical support between seven and eight out of ten for Kaspersky."

"What I want to be added to Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is a single pane of glass management, where everything is integrated into a single pane of glass."

"The technology grows day by day, so we need to check for updates and do the updates daily. Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum is still improving over time and quality-wise, there are still things that need to be changed in the product, so that's why I rated it nine out of ten. Compatibility could also be improved in the product."

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

"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."

"The solution can improve the uninstallation process. The removal of the agent can be difficult. The purpose is for security, but it requires a lot of time and sometimes a special tool."

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

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum cons

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"They should improve their user interface."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"The implementation is not easy."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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 solution could be made a bit cheaper."

"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."

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

"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 more affordable than the endpoint security product of Fortinet. Whether it's worth the money depends on your security strategy."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum pricing and cost advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"The product is very expensive."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
