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.

A stable and scalable tool with a complex setup phase
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
  • "I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for the new threat landscape since personal endpoints are not enough for protection. So customers are looking for, you know, endpoint detection and response. So they can centrally manage all endpoints and communicate data across every endpoint that they have on the network. So we have been using, like, the normal endpoint detection, endpoint protection. And after that, we deployed EDR and Azure for a few customers, which are kind of separate products. Actually, the experience was not that great in terms of the approach to EDR for Kaspersky because it wasn't one product. It's two different products that are working together. They kind of integrated, like, two products integrating with each other. But the performance and the administration become a headache for the administrators.


What needs improvement?

In terms of the protection itself, Kaspersky has been doing a great job. It's just the approach, the technology itself, performance, and impact on the systems it's protecting, that are more of a concern. The concern is significant, especially when compared to alternatives that are more lightweight and available on a cloud platform. So, the aforementioned areas should be considered for improvement.


For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert for two years. My company is a reseller of Kaspersky. We have been working with Kaspersky for almost ten years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. I recommend the solution for small to medium businesses since its deployment and management are complex and bigger enterprises could go for cloud-based or move towards the next-gen solutions rather than Kaspersky.


How are customer service and support?

I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team. In my opinion, right from the start, they should offer good support.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process was complex when considering that it's just to get in the integration right from the start .So, there have been some issues where we had to contact Kaspersky and have the engineers work it out for us. So, it could have been a much simpler way to do it. The deployment process took two weeks with the help of three to four engineers who normally handle such stuff.

What about the implementation team?

Kaspersky helped us with the implementation part.

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

Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Fast with good performance but needs more integrations
Pros and Cons
  • "The pricing is decent."
  • "We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for security. We use it between businesses to protect endpoints.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very fast.

The EDR is quite helpful.

It is stable. The performance is good.

Overall, it works very well.

It's good for blocking threats.

Technical support is excellent.

It is scalable. 

The pricing is decent.

What needs improvement?

When I have the protection of my terminal or device, I don't have a problem. I haven't had any issues.

We'd like more integrations to be available in the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for two months. 

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

Impressive firewall options, great filtering and blocking
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."
  • "The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."

What is our primary use case?

We use EDR on our Windows servers, desktops and laptops. Our use case is for security, file scanning and to prevent data loss.

What is most valuable?

The firewall options are impressive, the solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic. It's very easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to operate. 

What needs improvement?

No product is perfect and I think the stability could be improved a little. I'd also like to see performance improvement as the system can be heavy, slowing down our computers, and things don't always work smoothly. Performance could be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've had a license with Kaspersky for six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We have around 700 users in the company. 

How was the initial setup?

EDR is deployed from the server, it's an easy and manageable process. It's a matter of the system administrator running the profile from the server.

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

We have a three-year license. It was initially very reasonably priced but we are based in Pakistan and we are not doing well against the dollar so the price has increased significantly. 

What other advice do I have?

I've recommended this solution to many colleagues. I think Kaspersky is a reliable and stable solution.

I rate this solution nine out of 10.

Their products are generally effective in guessing attacks or thwarting different types of unknown malicious techniques
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
  • "Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."

What is our primary use case?

Kaspersky EDR is a targeted solution that collects telemetry and forensics data as well as end-to-end IoCs. It does not use any signatures.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex.

What needs improvement?

Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Kaspersky EDR for about four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Performance is one area where Kaspersky has room for improvement. The solution must be fast when it's acquiring telemetry data because the attack surface is unforgiving. The solution must be extremely fast with a high response time.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Kaspersky is scalable, but it lacks built-in high availability and disaster recovery. Currently, you need a third-party solution to provide high availability.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Kaspersky support eight out of 10. We have never had any serious issues with their support. They take some time to respond, but they always provide the best solution.  

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky isn't straightforward, but their guide is good. The documentation is fairly well-defined, so we just need to follow that. At the same time, it isn't easy because sometimes there are errors. I rate Kaspersky EDR six out of 10 for ease of installation.

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

The license is competitive. Pricing is another Kaspersky advantage.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

There is a lot of competition in the EDR category. As resellers in the industry for so long, we're aware of the various products to choose from. Kaspersky's strong point is detection. They have a huge threat intelligence and R&D team. Their threat detection is among the industry's best. Their products are generally effective in guessing attacks or detecting different types of unknown malicious techniques.  They also have a great sandbox with their EDR solution.

Their weakness is performance, but detection is one of the best in the industry, if not the best. Kaspersky is always at the top of any third-party analysis of EDR products.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response eight out of 10.

  • "An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."

What is our primary use case?

Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is used for detecting cyber attacks.

What is most valuable?

What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product.

What needs improvement?

An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed.

For how long have I used the solution?

My experience with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is three or four years, and I'm still working with it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable product because I didn't see any issues when I was using it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response can be scaled to other solutions, for example, we used an antivirus first, then expanded to EDR using the same console and same server for management, and in the future, we can top it up with a sandbox solution on the same console.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support provided for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response needs to be faster.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is easy. You can deploy it from the server or the main console. How long the deployment of the tool would take would depend on the network traffic during deployment and on the endpoint quantity.

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

Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a product manager that handles Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. My company is a distributor and reseller of the product in Thailand.

I don't remember the exact version number of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response, but I'm using its latest version.

My rating for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is eight out of ten.

If I had the chance to speak to others, my advice would be to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response.

Good security that runs quietly in the background and is not hard to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "It helps improve security in our organization."
  • "The solution could always be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for security purposes, as an antivirus. It prevents threats to our business. Our aim is to make sure that our machines are protected at all times.

What is most valuable?

It's just running in the background. It doesn't bother us, and we don't even notice it is there.

It helps improve security in our organization. The protection on offer is good. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

What needs improvement?

The solution could always be more secure. Every antivirus solution could be, as things are always dynamically changing. There is always a new risk on the horizon. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for over three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We haven't had any issues at all. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I can't speak to the scalability of the product. It's not an aspect that I handle. 

We have about 1,000 people on the solution right now. 

We do not plan to increase usage. It depends on the number of employees that we have. If the number increases, then we usually increase usage since any machine that comes into our network must have an antivirus on it.

How are customer service and support?

I've never dealt with support. I can't speak to how their services are. 

How was the initial setup?

It is simple to set up and configure. We haven't had any issues with the process. it's not complex. 

I'm not sure how long it took to deploy.

There are three people in our organization that can deploy and maintain the product. 

We have enough people in terms of implementation and management as we have multiple sites that are managed by different people.

What other advice do I have?

We tend to use the latest version of the solution in our organization. I can't speak to the exact version number. 

I would recommend the solution to others. I tested it on my personal computer before and found it worked fine. It's a reputable antivirus. I don't have a problem with it.

As a customer, I am satisfied. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

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?
