Cons

"The mobile version needs improvement."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."
"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
