Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Kaspersky EDR Optimum Solution in Hybrid mode, KSC cloud and On-premise, which helps to manage inhouse and roaming users from a single centralized console.

Also, this solution is helping to track threat incidents on our endpoint and respond also.

There are some security control components i.e Device control, web control and application control to reduce the attack surface.

Pros

  • KEDR Optimum is helping to see threat kill chain formation, which helps to get clear picture of the what exactly attacker was trying to do during attack.
  • We are crating prevent execution rules to block the threat in our complete infra.
  • Ioc scan to validate and remove the any active threat entry from our endpoints

Cons

  • Agent package size is little big, if it can be optimize with lite package would be great
  • If possible Host Integrity functionality can be added, to take action as quarantine the non-compliance machine to connect our enterprise network
  • Many times KSC cloud operating slow, if it can optimized for the faster response

Likelihood to Recommend

This is very feature enriched solution, and cost effective. Within a single solution, it offer to mange Endpoint security i.e EPP, EDR , Encryption, Patch management and some device management, It's nice

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have deployed the KSC Administration server on premise and the KES and network agent in all systems. We have been using Kaspersky EDR Optimum for a long time. It is helping us to get complete clarity about threat detection and implement security controls, i.e., Device control, and web control, to reduce the attack surface. I am very satisfied with the solutions.

Pros

  • Respond on threat to block on pre execution..
  • Block via Hash Value

Cons

  • Agent package size can be lighter. (Small)
  • Can be a single agent not like network agent and KES.
  • Performance optimization

Likelihood to Recommend

It can implement in any IT infrastructure as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kaspersky EDR Optimum is the best approach to understand about what the root cause from our malware detections is. Therefore, lets us improve the setting to fix the breach based in the knowledge from the source (websites, devices, misconfigurations, active vulnerabilities, etc) and show to us the techniques that the malicious actor uses in your operations.

Pros

  • Identify the source and attack vector.
  • Draw in simple way the attack chain with details bifurcations (if apply).
  • Gets hashing from all objects involved in the operation.
  • Offer functionalities for perform quicks respond the attack.

Cons

  • Don’t wait the User start a task scan, I think that is most valuable shown scan information (or partially) when doing review the alert.
  • Doing a recommendation to make specific changes in policies and option to apply it automatically.

Likelihood to Recommend

I’m convinced that the key is guaranteeing the 100% of coverage, with the best configuration possible and without pain or hit at resource consumption and harmonies performance.I would like that the solution detecting, inventorying, and alerting about some host/device unknow or don’t register in KSC. Don’t depend on Device Detection function.

Likelihood to Recommend

Kaspersky EDR Optimum is more appropriate for large computer network, because it has much better securtiy controls than others competitor. For small infraestructure, i choose KSC on cloud, becasuse is really simple its desploy and operation. One important point is use Windows 10 or 11 on the desktops. This scenarios is easier than heterogeneus computer networks.

Nice traditional AV evolved to EDR

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kaspersky was our corporate antivirus. As far as we did not want to take any risks, we wanted a powerfull one. No doubt, Kaspersky is a great product, it works fine, although it needs some tunning for some applications, as many other antivirus products. However, we managed to get it working smoothly

Pros

  • Prevention
  • Self-update client
  • AD integration

Cons

  • Console (not cloud version)
  • Resource management
  • Remote connection

Likelihood to Recommend

I managed to get it working properly and with no issues in a mostly Windows Enviroment, both workstations and servers.
Some users, specially developers, complained about resource consumption, but I suppose that is the way it works. From my perspective, it worked pretty well for 99% of the users.
If you have some Russian concerns, maybe it's not the best option for you, although it's a great product
