Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides a solution for organizations' IT security needs, blocking ransomware, file-less malware, zero-day attacks and other emerging threats. Kaspersky’s cloud-based approach helps users to work securely on any device, and collaborate safely online, at work or at home, from remote offices and in the field. The cloud-native console means the organization's security can be managed from anywhere, any time.
For secure access to apps and business data, I recommend Cisco Duo. It offers SSO, MFA, and Passwordless access, ensuring teams can securely access business data. It is easy to customize and comes with top-tier security features. It protects business data, apps, and users.

Well-Suited Scenarios:Small to Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs): Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is well-suited for SMBs with limited IT resources. Its cloud-based management simplifies deployment and ongoing security administration, allowing smaller businesses to benefit from enterprise-grade protection without the complexity.Distributed Workforces: In scenarios where employees work remotely or across multiple locations, the cloud-based nature of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is advantageous. It enables centralized management of security policies, ensuring consistent protection for all endpoints regardless of their physical location.Proactive Threat Detection: Organizations that prioritize proactive threat detection and response benefit from Kaspersky's advanced capabilities. The endpoint detection and response (EDR) features help identify and mitigate potential threats in real-time, crucial for industries handling sensitive data.Less Appropriate Scenarios:Highly Regulated Industries with Specific Compliance Requirements: In industries with stringent compliance regulations, organizations may require specialized solutions that offer more granular control and reporting features tailored to specific compliance standards. Kaspersky may need to enhance customization options to cater to these specific needs.Resource-Constrained Environments: While Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is generally efficient, organizations with extremely resource-constrained environments, such as older hardware or limited bandwidth, might find the solution demanding in terms of system resources.
We use Cisco Duo with different type of device and application, but we never face any difficulties to integrate Cisco Duo with any of them.
We integrated Cisco Duo with some of our active directory and some of the OS are quite old but Cisco Duo works totally fine with them.
The end user application is very easy to use. We never had any complain from non tech team members of having trouble of using Cisco Duo.
There are several authentication methods available rather than passcode. I personally like the push notification which is always on time and quite fast.

Excellent Customer Service - Every time I need something from my main contact at Kaspersky I will get the fastest support within a day or two max, depending on the hour I call.
Excellent Performance - KES has been I can say a ghost on my company and my clients because of it's performance, since is light weight when processing and protecting.
Excellent Administration of Cloud Console - It's easy to navigate thru the KES Cloud Console having a quick help that orientates for any easy doubt to clear out, if needed to escalate I can always setup a Ticket and get a fast response.

Should have device to device connection ability whereas internet is not met.
Changes of device can be sorted and easily made using a second email address or any other identification method.
Troubleshooting should be easy to sort out. One time, a Duo admin deleted the authentication group, and some employees were not getting push notifications. It was very hard to find out the cause. Duo should have some troubleshooting finder.
Sometimes push notifications are delayed, and the code does not work. At that time, we need to enroll the device again. Not sure why it happens. Duo should give reasons for the error.
Though the Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides security from all the types of Cyber threat but it will be great to have the protection from the attacks which occurs from inside of an organization.
As Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides the Cyber security training to it's users in only Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Pro which should be included in it's all versions so that the users will be aware of the Cyber threats.
The feature of root cause analysis is a great feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud but I feel there is a scope for improvement in it.

There are a lot of competing solutions on the market; however, Duo "just works", and there is little to no learning curve for the new members to be acclimated to it. As long as that continues I see it as the preferred option moving forward

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security products for several years and the jump to the console cloud has been very comfortable for us since we do not have to dedicate a server to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console but rather the console is in the cloud so that we save the server and its financial amount, electrical expense, cost of its housing in the CPD.

It allows us to roll out endpoint protection quickly from a cloud interface to hundreds of users within seconds and keep those devices secure. From deployment of BitLocker and keeping track of the keys from the interface has saves many users from stolen laptops and devices since we used Kaspersky as our main device protection.

In the last 5+ years we've been using Duo, there may have been 1 outage that impacted us. We do receive periodic notifications of issues but, for the most part, they impact carriers or functionality that we either don't use, or do not care about.
Kaspersky is a market leader company, so I had no doubt that I could trust their cloud services availability. As of now, I haven't experienced any downtime on their cloud portal or any issue in the agent itself. I would recommend it in terms of reliability.

We have had no major issues with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud. The product has a very low overhead. There have been issues in the past where web pages have been slow to load, as they are being processed by the Kaspersky Security Network. That said, when the issue was reported to technical support, they were quick to assess and provide a viable work around.

I have not needed direct support for Cisco Secure Access by Duo as I have not had a problem with it, but I have full confidence that the support is outstanding. It is now a core component of the corporate technology stack - a problem would mean a serious degradation in the ability of the company to function.

We only had to send a query to Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud support. We had a problem accessing the cloud console and we opened a case with them. They assisted us quickly and gave us precise and concise instructions to access the Kaspersky Endpoint Security cloud console.After completing the steps indicated we were able to access the console

The Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud online training was very complete and access to the console and the main administration tasks were explained to us.Also how to view security events, customer inventories and reports.In addition, Kaspersky provides a large number of manuals, web help, and videos to refresh your knowledge in the future.

Documentation could have been better. I had to piece together different KB/admin guides to make certain things work and I also had to use third-party guides to get bits of information that were missing from Cisco Duo documentation. Support was also engaged multiple times to figure out an issue and after some back and forth it was usually determined that the information I needed was hidden somewhere else and had no direct correlation with the document that was linked from the platform.

The implementation of this product is easy, the console is mounted and from it the client is distributed to the rest of the computers. In this way, the Kaspersky Endpoint Security client is installed on all the computers in the company's IT park and its servers.The installation of clients requires that they have visibility with the console that is in the cloud.

Ultimately we ended up going with Cisco Duo because we are a Cisco shop. All of our networking infrastructure, our phones, our wireless environment is Cisco based. It made logical sense to stay with a product that we already have a line of support with. With a smaller support / tech group we depend on outside Cisco support. That support is already here for us, so we stayed with a Cisco product.

The manufacturer Kaspersky was very flexible with the terms of the contract for the Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud product since it has prices by number of licenses, offering discounts for the volume of licenses to be contracted as well as for the duration of the contract. They show a very empathetic attitude with the client, trying to adapt to what the client needs.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a distributed product, you connect to the console and the client is installed on the computers and servers and the only configuration it needs is the console address. Then they connect and the console downloads the virus definitions and defined policies.There are no client limitations, you can even have multiple consoles if you want to have "separate" clients.

Cisco Duo has saved us from automated attacks on VPN. We had an instance is 2024 where our VPN was being brute force attacked, and we had several users' weak passwords compromised; however the VPN security groups, and the MFA kept the attacks from gaining access. We've since replaced our firewall with capabilities for limitations on country access for VPN, and beefed up our password complexity settings,

KES Cloud is the next step on security, where clients did not believe on Cloud solutions, now with this approach of not having servers onsite they are Hapy with the solution, less asset management and updates of hardware is one of the best. At least per Year Min a 6-10K up to 20-30K per year saving with KES Cloud.
Cloud Console has been a great change due to de easiness to manage it ad reporting as well.
