User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"It's a very stable solution."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"The tool's interface is good."
"It provides good security."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"The stability must be improved."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The solution could be more secure."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
