Majid  Ali - PeerSpot reviewer
Security tool provides basic protection but faces challenges in support and feature set
I'm facing challenges because the local support is not up to mark, and its features are not comparable to industry-leading solutions such as CrowdStrike and Trend Micro. Kaspersky needs to improve its local support to become a better product for future releases. The local support is inadequate, and compared to Trend Micro and CrowdStrike, many features are missing in this tool regarding investigation, threat hunting, and threat intelligence. These features are not up to mark in this tool compared to other EDR solutions, and the interface is very unfriendly.
Timothy Muriithi - PeerSpot reviewer
I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems, and the fact that there is an open source version
Setting OpenEDR was challenging at first, but I got it done by following their documentation and online videos. You need to install the client and configure it to work with their online open platform. Next, you have to configure it on the device if it's a phone. You input a cloud link to the EDR, so you can monitor it from the cloud. There isn't any maintenance aside from updating the client. It's mostly on the cloud.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"The advanced detection features are valuable."
"Kaspersky offers more visible and comprehensive features compared to other products."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"My team was struggling with the reporting when we were doing an audit. The console features are a little more interactive and user-friendly. There's some issue, or maybe some fixing has to be done."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response needs vast resources on the central node. Not all maintenance tasks are in the GUI, so we often use commands. The lack of documentation for these processes means we frequently reach out to support, open tickets, and run complex CLI commands. It's not the most straightforward process. It should also improve stability."
"I want to be able to use the product as a patch management tool for my endpoints since it is an area that is not working effectively for me."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The main issue was compatibility with the cloud itself. The CPU usage immediately spiked, causing the machines to hang and sometimes even forcing server or computer restarts."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"The tool's pricing was high during the last renewal."
"The product is cheap."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
