We started with Kaspersky. We didn't use a different solution previously.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. We are a tech company and therefore we found it pretty simple. Even a layman, however, can do the installation. It's not complex or difficult. We deployed it with our engineers.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We'd like the pricing to be lower. It can get a bit pricey.
We pay for an annual license.
What other advice do I have?
As a cloud solution, we're always on the latest version. We update it automatically on the cloud.
I'd recommend the solution to others.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. There's room for improvement, however, we've largely been happy with it.

Product Manager at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
A useful solution for protection, but it sometimes consumes a lot of system resources
Pros and Cons
- "The content filtering options are good."
- "It consumes many system resources."
What is our primary use case?
We use this solution mainly for protection, but we also have another solution we use for this.
What is most valuable?
The content filtering options are good.
What needs improvement?
It consumes many system resources, and there should be more EDR details.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for one year, and we are using the new version. It is deployed on-premises.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. Regarding detection, sometimes it consumes a lot of system resources.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We have not scaled it yet, but our customers use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response, and they have not had any issues scaling.
How are customer service and support?
We have not needed technical support. Instead, we deal with our cases and use Google to solve our problems.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We prefer CrowdStrike to Kaspersky.
How was the initial setup?
It is not easy to set up. I believe the cloud version is easier to implement. We only deployed it on three computers, which didn't take much time. It was a bit of a struggle.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is cheap compared to CrowdStrike. It costs $20 per user.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution a seven out of ten. Regarding advice, Kaspersky should work with a signature-less solution only because it's better and does not consume too many system resources. They should not use indicators because some new next-generation antivirus vendors are currently not using IOCs. Instead, they use IOA, which is better. In addition, Kaspersky could be GDPR compliant.

System Engineer at Tejoury
Stable, flexible, and well-priced solution
Pros and Cons
- "Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
- "There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
What is our primary use case?
I mainly use EDR to scan publicly-hosted servers and ensure they get automatically segregated upon detection of any threat.
What is most valuable?
Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history.
What needs improvement?
There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions. Also, recently, some policies have been getting disabled automatically. In the next release, EDR should include a web plugin.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using EDR for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven't had any issues with EDR's stability and have had full uptime over the last two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
EDR is scalable - we've used it for 500 workstations.
How are customer service and support?
Kaspersky have stopped providing free support, and their default support is only available on weekdays.
How was the initial setup?
If you have all the installers downloaded and prerequisites ready, EDR can be deployed within an hour or two.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year.
What other advice do I have?
EDR is a very good tool that can be used for a large user base without lag. I would rate EDR eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
Helped us prevent ATM looting
Pros and Cons
- "My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
- "I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
What is our primary use case?
We use Kaspersky for our cash machines, 200 of which we have around the country. We use it to control the USB ports so nobody can use them without authorization from the owner.
Currently, we implementing a new use case concerning our response when we get an alert.
What is most valuable?
In the past year, many banks have seen cases of ATM looting. We wanted to prevent that, which is why we implemented Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. We are a bank and we haven't had any issues like the orders. Kaspersky helped us a lot. It helped up prevent unauthorized USB port usage.
What needs improvement?
I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response could also introduce a way to make working in teams more accessible. At the same time, it would be interesting to see them explore artificial intelligence solutions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not had any performance issues and our board really likes the solution. Our facility and technical support teams use this solution as they manage the cash machines.
How are customer service and technical support?
I think they are good and we haven't had any problems with them. We haven't had any critical issues that would have required us to call the US technical support of US; we have only been in touch with local technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Sophos, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Defender. The most important reason we transitioned to Kaspersky is the agent that is installed in the end points on the cash machine. The Kaspersky agent is really soft. With the others, we noticed that their agents would stop, so that made a big difference.
What about the implementation team?
We used three or four people to deploy and maintain the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our current monthly costs are $1,000.
What other advice do I have?
You have to be really informed about the process of using this tool before deploying. With our use case with the cash machines, for example, implementing the white list could have been really hard work for us if we had not had previous experience with it.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Network administrator at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good pricing and a decent security solution for helpful centralized monitoring
Pros and Cons
- "We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
- "It does not cover all of our security issues."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for security.
What is most valuable?
Overall, the solution is okay.
We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent. The agent is installed on workstations and servers and after that, the agent can contact the central server from which we can see all of the information. We can see if the antivirus has been updated, if the solution has been detecting anything, or if there are any issues, for example.
The pricing is very good. It's quite cheap. It might be one of the least expensive.
What needs improvement?
It does not cover all of our security issues. It's not a complete security solution. We'd like something like CrowdStrike Falcon. We'd like the same features as CrowdStike. If they can have even better features than CrowdStrike in the future, it would be better.
The solution lacks EDR features.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is cheaper than other products. However, it's not as complete.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are looking to evaluate CrowdStrike. We understand that that solution covers more features.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a good product, however, it does not cover enough for us. We need something more expansive.
