    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

    Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations.

    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)

    • Sever lockdown does not have a way to see what is blocked in real time.
    • Firewall rule management.
    • Adobe products kick of encryption protection on a file server.

    Support is generally great, however, they can be a bit more flexible and faster to respond. Considering I have purchased a few hundred licenses, I think my support desk deserves to be at least able to schedule calls with the support, which is not always the case. Apart from that, they are always helpful, knowledgeable and have, so far, resolved any and all issues that we have been needing help with.

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