    Easy to learn, use and deploy. Kaspersky EDR Expert allows to automatically find unmanaged and rogue endpoints, remove previous agent from another vendor, install its agent, move endpoint to a group based on endpoint's characteristics, change security policies if for example endpoint is moved to another subnet or currently out-of-office, apply malware outbreak rules in case of attack

    As mentioned earlier, privacy and financial transaction threats will continue to risk with the current and rapid rise in tech tools/computer software. And handling such threats is NOT a core competency for many businesses. So, a paid version of such a robust systems comes well recommended - especially for those users who often use mobile banking or pay via cellphone apps

    Cons
    Kaspersky Lab
    • Linux-systems support on the same level like windows systems
    • Untying from Kaspesky ATA
    • AI add to ease the way of profiling the system (it requires 1 FTE to examine all the incidents on 10 000 hosts? too much)

    • During run-time you would feel that systems are slow.
    • Ability to detect cyber attack and response to cyber attacks can be improved.
    • Support for advanced malware, botnets can be improved.
    • Some investigation module are provided as optional add-on, so they should be integrated.

    We deployed the trial version of Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen. The trial was applied to 3 users including one from accounts to check all angles. Considering the overall performance, as detailed in prior specifics, we found it to be a very close contended to Spybot-Search and Destroy, that we have been using since 10++ years. In fact, since the later does not have an andriod app, we are, most likely, shifting to this product after locating and evaluating 2-3 close competitors. Our experience with Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen began with its free "Trend micro housecall" around 8 years before. The minuses - 1. It does seem to be a little more resource intensive vs. Spybot search and destroy 2. The absence of cookie cleaning and associated tiered options (the kind of cookies I want to retain or delete) is one big gap

    I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

    Overall, the suite of benefits and more reasonable cost per user/license to the organization were the key components affecting our decision-making.

    Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.
