848,989 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability and performance are very good. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is quite stable. We have the advanced version, and there is a possibility to upgrade as necessary.
We have close to 100 people using the solution. We do not have plans to increase usage. We are a small enterprise. We'd only increase the usage if the number of resources increases.
How are customer service and support?
We have used technical support. They are very reactive and experienced.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did use any other EDR solutions. We also have experience with Norton, for example. The experience was not positive.
How was the initial setup?
My understanding is that the solution is easy to set up. However, I did not participate in the setup.
It took two days to deploy the solution.
In terms of planning, we are looking to fully deploy it in the next two months.
We have about ten technical people that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. We had two main people managing it, and others handled the systems and network.
What about the implementation team?
We did not need a consultant. We had an integrator handling the setup, and it was easy to deploy it. Typically, it can be handled by a technical team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a license that covers 100 people. We have a license that we pay yearly. We generally pay for two years at a time.
The licenses are affordable.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user. The solution is new to me. I'm not sure of the version number we are using.
I'd recommend the solution to others. We plan to integrate it with more things and help control more devices. We'll integrate it with our network assessment devices as well.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

General Manager IT at Chase Up
Secure port capabilities, high level threat detection technology, and useful support tools
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
- "The installation process could be more streamlined."
What is our primary use case?
We are using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response for protecting our clients and our systems from digital threats. For example, our operating systems.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective.
What needs improvement?
The installation process could be more streamlined.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response for approximately four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We are able to upgrade modules and we have not had any problems.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is simple but the time of installation could be quicker. We set up our Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response server and our clients installed it on their end.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have been satisfied with the license of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response a nine out of ten.

Founding Partner at Xmartlab
Easy to manage, simple to set up, and expands well
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is scalable."
- "I would like better integration with other products."
What is our primary use case?
Clients are using this product to protect their desktops and laptops and to respond adequately when some vulnerabilities are detected as exploited.
What is most valuable?
We like the automated change of policies, given some scenarios. It is wonderful. You can rely upon your automated policies being activated if you need to. If you are under attack, or maybe some ransomware is spreading across your network, and you want your endpoints to become more secure given that threat, you get good protection. It's maybe the most important feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response.
It's easy to set up.
The solution is scalable.
It's easy to manage and monitor the endpoints.
What needs improvement?
I would like better integration with other products. For example, I would like to have another view in SolarWinds or Datadog. Integration is not easy. I'd like it to be simplified.
We do not need any additional features.
The business plan maybe could be improved. They need to change the way they sell the product. They could be better friends with their partners. A partner is not somebody who sells this product. It is usually somebody who manages this product for the end user or the end company that is predicting the assets. The role that a partner plays in this interaction is very important. They need to work to build that relationship to benefit the solution and the client. They should also offer better margins.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been dealing with the solution since 2019. It's been around three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a very stable solution. The most important thing about stability is not if the product runs or stops running, it is the time window you need to be prepared for new threats. They offer good protection, which makes the product very stable. Kaspersky's usually the first in distributing the indicators of compromise of the newest threats.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale well. It is easy to deploy and manage a large number of endpoints running just a few tasks. You are very aware of what is happening with the threats in your institution. There's a lot of visibility.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support can be improved. When you need support, when you call for support, and you present the evidence in a ticket, they always come back with more questions. They ask you for more evidence, and you have to go and collect it. You get to a point where you want to say, "Oh, just forget it, I don't need more support from you. You always ask me for more, more, more data."
I would like to see a solution. I don't want to do all of this legwork and not get any help.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The console is very easy. The deployment is easy as well. If you have an active directory or something like that, or if you have previously installed the Kaspersky network agent, it's quite simple. If not, even if you don't have any of those, maybe if you have some software policy to deploy over your assets, it should also be easy. Otherwise, you have to go endpoint by endpoint running the agents. That can take time.
The maintenance is pretty straightforward. If I have 5,000 endpoints, I need one engineer to handle the console installation for, maybe a week's worth of work. The endpoints could take two or three people to deploy in the company. If you can centralize the deployment, it will only take two or three days for one engineer to handle the setup.
What was our ROI?
I don't have any details in regard to ROI.
What other advice do I have?
We are a partner of Kaspersky.
We always work with the latest version of the solution.
It's a wonderful product if you have a proper partner to handle it. If you let the product run by itself, by itself, it won't protect you. You need someone on this product with a hand on it every day, checking policies and seeing how it works. That's the only way to be protected from threats.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Provides great web and DNS protection
Pros and Cons
- "Provides web and DNS protection over https."
- "Could include some additional protection."
What is our primary use case?
I'm the head of our IT department.
What is most valuable?
I like that Kaspersky provides us with web and DNS protection over https.
What needs improvement?
Everything is automatic on Kaspersky but it would be great if they could add a feature for examining suspicious files. I'd like the solution to offer additional protection.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable, we haven't had any problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our organization, each department has its own antivirus so scalability is not relevant to us. We only have four users in our department.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't needed to contact technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Avast. I switched to Kaspersky because it seemed to work more quickly detecting suspicious files without affecting our work.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. We carried out the deployment in-house and it took about a week. We have a manager and a tech person dealing with the solution. We're in a small network environment and we don't need much.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is free for now.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution 10 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
