"I like the simplicity of the portal and the integration with Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is easy to use and implement."
"The intelligence mechanisms are good."
"The best thing I like about it is its interaction with the other Defender products. It provides the ability to push telemetry up. It gives me endpoint visibility and allows me to take automated actions."
"The solution has an easy-to-use interface, is always updated, and is user-friendly."
"The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been good."
"I like the process visibility. This ability to visualize how something was executed is valuable, and the fact that Defender ATP is also linked to the threat intelligence that they have is also valuable. So, even if you have something that doesn't have a conventional signature, the fact that you get this strange execution means that you can detect things that are normally not visible."
"I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"Defender is integrated into the operating system. It's integrated with everything. You don't have to spend time analyzing what you have to do to be sure that the integration is okay between the security tool and all the other apps. This, from my point of view, is the main advantage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution is not stable."
"Detections could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert Cons →
"If there were more template queries in the library, that would make it much easier. They could have basic things, like, "Where's the IP for this user?" or, "What file was downloaded from this user?" If there were more of those basic queries that would help."
"The frequency of the patching, and the frequency of the updates, are not included with the free version."
"The documentation could be better. When they update their manuals, sometimes they refer to products by their old names, so it is a little confusing. For example, the documentation might still say "Advanced Threat Protection" instead of Defender for Endpoint."
"I would like the solution to be able to prevent unauthorized programs from installing and to block unauthorised URLs which is similar to web filtering product."
"Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky."
"There are some areas in the proactive threats that are just overwhelming the SOC, so we've had to turn those off until we can figure out how to filter out the false positives."
"Auto recovery is the most important feature that we would need from this solution. For decryption, similar to Malwarebytes, there should be something to be able to recover the data up to the last normal status. Its ability to recover data to the last normal copy must not exceed 5 to 10 minutes."
"More integration with different platforms is an area for improvement for this product, and should be included in its next release."
