What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to enhance malware detection and response capabilities.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features. We can easily configure Kaspersky's anti-target attack, streamlining our security measures. The unified agent, which combines antivirus, optimal threat response, and EDR functionalities, is a significant improvement. This integration simplifies management, providing a comprehensive solution with both cloud and on-premise functionality. It ensures effective protection and swift threat response across our network.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in its user interface. The web GUI needs development to make it more user-friendly and aligned with industry standards.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Kaspersky EDR for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of the product as a seven out of ten. I would recommend Kaspersky EDR for enterprise-level businesses. Its robust functionality, including EDR use cases and versatile prevention rules, makes it particularly well-suited for larger organizations.

How are customer service and support?

Kaspersky's tech support is good. We have local teams in our country, and they are proactive in hiring and sharing knowledge. They provide effective assistance for any EDR solution issues we encounter. I would rate the support as a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

When comparing Kaspersky EDR to other products like Fidelis Cybersecurity, Fidelis has a good user interface but tends to have issues with high CPU and RAM usage. I have heard feedback from users facing problems with Fidelis's Incident TimeLine feature. While both products have similarities, Kaspersky EDR stands out for its comprehensive functionality and effective threat response.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky EDR can vary in complexity based on hardware. Customers might experience issues like storage or high CPU usage during installation or updates. While the initial installation is generally smooth, upgrading poses challenges, especially when transitioning between different operating systems. Careful testing is essential to prevent errors and compatibility issues caused by overwriting operating system codes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price for Kaspersky EDR is on the higher side, likely because of their extensive marketing efforts. However, the cost seems justified as they prioritize customer support, investing in a capable team to handle complex customer situations.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate Kaspersky EDR as a seven out of ten.

A robust set of features that ensure early detection of threats
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages."
  • "Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."

How has it helped my organization?

I am affiliated with Kaspersky as a partner and reseller.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages.

What needs improvement?

There are a few areas where I believe they could make some improvements. First, it would be beneficial if they could optimize the solution to be less resource-intensive, as it currently tends to put a heavy load on our machines and requires specialized servers for deployment. It is worth noting that they have made progress in this area, and the solution is now more manageable on standard server configurations. Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority. Ideally, the interface should be intuitive enough that administrators and technical support teams don't require extensive training and can quickly adapt to using the solution independently. I must acknowledge that Kaspersky EDR already offers a robust set of features, especially in terms of threat detection and endpoint protection. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for fourteen years.

How are customer service and support?

Kaspersky offers two types of support. The standard support, which is included with the product purchase, tends to have longer response times for issue resolution. If you opt for their premium support, they provide prompt and effective assistance, ensuring quicker problem resolution.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?


What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive. While the initial purchase cost for EDR may be relatively higher, particularly due to its advanced capabilities, it remains a cost-effective choice when compared to other established products in the same category.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it eight out of ten because there's always room for improvement in any product or service.

Convenient and provides effective security solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
  • "Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."

How has it helped my organization?

Kaspersky EDR has been beneficial for our organization, enhancing threat detection and response capabilities. It helps identify issues such as malware detection, unauthorized downloads, and inappropriate user permissions, enabling swift action to mitigate risks.

What is most valuable?

Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices. It streamlines the process by automatically checking and responding to security issues, potentially improving effectiveness and reducing the need for manual intervention.

What needs improvement?

Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security. Detecting and responding to network protocol issues, such as phishing emails or malicious downloads, can be challenging, but integrating network monitoring into EDR tools could significantly improve overall network security.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Overall, I'm satisfied with the price of Kaspersky EDR. It is widely used among our peers and has been effective in detecting and mitigating malware and ransomware threats. However, I have noticed that other EDR tools like Palo Alto EDR offer more advanced AI capabilities and broader threat coverage.

What other advice do I have?

Kaspersky EDR enhances response capabilities by capturing malware or problematic websites on endpoints and providing alerts for quick action to resolve issues.

Kaspersky EDR offers features for threat hunting and vulnerability scanning on endpoints. It identifies unapplied security patches and provides a reporting tool for managing patch deployments efficiently.

Kaspersky EDR offers good integration capabilities, particularly with services like Office 365, which is beneficial for our organization. However, there might be some limitations when integrating with other tools such as NetSuite and Monday.com. Improving integration with tools like SolarWinds could enhance overall cybersecurity management. Looking ahead, prioritizing integration with cloud services would be advantageous as organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based solutions.

I would recommend Kaspersky EDR, especially for organizations operating in the China market. It is a convenient tool that provides effective security solutions, particularly helpful in addressing firewall issues commonly faced in the Chinese market. However, for companies outside of China not facing similar market restrictions, it might be good to consider other solutions as well.

Overall, I would rate Kaspersky EDR as a seven out of ten. It is a useful choice for our organization, although not perfect. It requires a certain skill set to manage security nodes effectively. However, it is relatively easy to use compared to other EDR tools, making it a safer option for less experienced users.
