Sales Manager at Last call
Provides security to those operating with confidential documents since it offers a very stable environment
Pros and Cons
- "Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
- "The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
What is our primary use case?
I enjoyed working in security, but I am a commercial manager at my company now. Our customers and my company don't have issues with the solution. It's very difficult to try to work in the web interface.
How has it helped my organization?
When working with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert, I feel secure with my confidential documents, especially when we open them in Excel. So, we feel secure with such capacity in the solution.
What is most valuable?
In my company, we do some evaluations, and when opening a document, it's like a sandbox tool that allows one to open and review a document. So, we feel very secure with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert.
What needs improvement?
More than a technical issue, it's more of a commercial issue that we have faced with the solution. Some of my clients told me something about the Russia and Ukraine conflict. Because Kaspersky is from Russia, my clients mentioned that it may have some problems in the future.
Speaking about the features I like to see in the solution, I would like to say that I use the solution's features as a user. I even don't know if the solution has certain features. I am uncertain whether the solution includes certain features like traffic monitoring or app usage tracking. We employ Power Automate applications on our mobile devices, which might explain the observed traffic or usage. However, I believe this knowledge is limited as I lack access to the manager console.
The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish.
For how long have I used the solution?
In the last six months, I have been certified on the user and commercial notifications on the web page of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert. Also, I don't remember the version of the solution I am using.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. We never had issues with Kaspersky. However, we have faced issues with Sophos. So, we are very happy with Kaspersky.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. Since we sell the solution, we plan to increase the usage of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert. With an increased demand, we will have to buy more licenses.
How are customer service and support?
We haven't had any issues in the last six months with Kaspersky. Only one time, I had raised a ticket with Kaspersky's support team, but it was for some administrative purpose.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used to use Sophos previously in our company. But I feel that Kaspersky is easier and quicker to use.
How was the initial setup?
Since the initial setup took a while, we changed our support engineer. With a new support engineer, we faced no problems with the deployment process. We sell not more than fifty solutions.
Also, the solution is deployed on the cloud.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is good since our clients are very confident with using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Since we are partners with Kaspersky, it's very complicated to discuss its pricing structure.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

You can get more advanced features than their standard solution and only spend slightly more
Pros and Cons
- "We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
- "If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
What is our primary use case?
Kaspersky EDR is an advanced version of the company's standard security solution that provides some enhanced detection and response features. Cost-wise, it's not much more than their other solution.
Kaspersky is trying to push clients to adopt EDR because they plan to consolidate everything into one solution. EDR incorporates all the features available in Kaspersky's other products.
What needs improvement?
If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Kaspersky EDR for about three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Kaspersky EDR seven out of 10 for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Kaspersky EDR seven out of 10 for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Kaspersky support eight out of 10. It depends on your SLA. You need to wait in line with standard support, but you get help immediately if you purchase business support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I wouldn't say that Kaspersky is a walk in the park to install, but it isn't too complex. Anyone with a little training and knowledge can install and configure it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate Kaspersky EDR seven out of 10 for affordability. Kaspersky EDR isn't cheap, but it shouldn't be out of reach for most medium-sized enterprises. It is a small price jump from their advanced endpoint security solution. Small companies may not be able to spend that much. It should be within the budget of any company with more than 300 employees should.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Kaspersky EDR eight out of 10. It's one of the top three solutions, but it isn't my No. 1.

Effective, easy to set up, and offers good support
Pros and Cons
- "We can scale the solution."
- "We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
What is our primary use case?
Currently, I'm using Kaspersky as endpoint protection and EDR.
I'm using it for detecting malicious behavior on PCs. It's for security.
What is most valuable?
In terms of effectiveness, it's the best.
It is easy to set up.
The product is stable.
We can scale the solution.

I can't say which areas need improvement.
We'd like to see them improve the automatic response.

It's a stable, reliable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We've had zero issues in general while using the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability has been good.
Kaspersky is installed on all PCs and servers. It is used extensively in the organization. There is likely over 1,000 users.
How are customer service and support?
We only used support once. We found a malicious file in an email, and we opened a ticket with them to deal with the issue. They were very effective. They resolved the issue and provided us with text to update the KATA directories.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The solution is simple to set up. It's not a complex process.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We tested it with different scenarios, such as MITRE ATT&CK, and we did the same scenario across all vendors. This solution came out on top.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a customer and end-user.
We did a POC with the solution and were quite impressed by its effectiveness.
If someone is working in a virtual environment, they should consider a virtual solution like Kaspersky from the beginning. It helps save memory usage.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It is a very effective tool.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

System Administrator at NCCPL
Fabulous range of features not available elsewhere
Pros and Cons
- "Has some great features not available elsewhere."
- "The solution lacks DLP."
What is our primary use case?
We are users of this solution and I'm a system administrator and lead manager of the Kaspersky EDR solution in my company.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion Kaspersky is the best product on the market. It's very easy to handle, user-friendly and they provide a lot of features that are difficult to find in other endpoint solutions. Kaspersky provides great features and endpoint protection.
What needs improvement?
The only problem we have with the solution is that DLP is not a part of it. It's particularly relevant for those working in financial markets, especially in Pakistan where it's deployed in banks. DLP would make EDR a complete package. The lack of DLP is the main reason that our company is moving away from Kaspersky EDR.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable and I haven't faced any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable. We have approximately 300 users in the company.
How are customer service and support?
We've had many interactions with technical support. We use the online Kaspersky company portal to raise tickets, and the staff are very knowledgeable technically and very professional. In so many ways, and so many queries I was in coordination with them directly. The email support is also very good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple and there were no issues with deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Kaspersky offers a very budget-friendly licensing model that is a complete package and is suitable for small, medium or enterprise organizations. McAfee, for example, has a much more costly license.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I've looked at other solutions including McAfee and most offer the same level of endpoint protection. Kaspersky provides additional features that other products don't have.
What other advice do I have?
I'm very satisfied with this product overall and I rate it 10 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Information Security and Support Coordinator at St Marche
Provides reports and helps us with our servers
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features are the reports."
- "We would like to have better strategic information."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use this solution for users, servers, and services that we have implemented in our company.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features are the reports.
What needs improvement?
There are no issues with this solution. However, we would like to have better strategic information. We currently have tactical, and it's hard to make strategic decisions based on what it delivers.
In addition, we have about 600 users using this solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for over four years. It is deployed on-premises.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the technical support a six out of ten because the support depends on the type of contract we have. We have a special contract, so we just need to submit a case and get a response within 24 hours.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our licensing costs are annual.
What other advice do I have?
I rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Good blocking capabilities and patching but needs better support
Pros and Cons
- "The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
- "There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection.
What is most valuable?
In the software that I use at Kaspersky, we have some options that we made to our client LiDAR for the block patching, and we can close the high chain.
The endpoint protection can update the patching from this server directly to the client, and every employee.
The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance.
It offers good blocking capabilities.
The upper patching is excellent.
What needs improvement?
We have some problems with LiDAR. When we do the install, or reinstall the server console, or server endpoint protection, I don't know why we need to reinstall it.
Even though we installed, or did a new install for the server endpoint protection features, we use some small PDO or some patching to upgrade it in the employee protection clients if that's in.
I need a local expert. I'm looking for more experts to be able to apply it to certain solutions that we understand already. In order to meet our requirements, we need more experts.
There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for as long as I've been at the company - about one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
While the client is stable, for the console management, we have some problems with LiDAR. Sometimes, we installed it and had a problem and we need to reinstall it. In the last hour, the client can not do the configuration yet we need to add clients into the platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We don't find it to have enough space.
We have below 100 people on the solution.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is not too bad. I can say that it is in the middle of the road. They can be slow to respond.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We used either an integrator or consultant. We had help from a third party and didn't handle the entire implementation ourselves.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is good. I'd rate it four out of five in terms of affordability.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did compare Kaspersky EDR with other software vendors.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a customer and end-user.
I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. If we had more local expertise and better support, it would be better.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
