Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"Kaspersky Enterprise solution's combined protections have helped to block a lot of malware which would have caused a lot of interruptions in our operations."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"It has helped our company protect the confidential data of our customers."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
 

Cons

"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs can vary."
"The license is yearly."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"There is an annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
