Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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

"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The solution is secure."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The signature update is done securely."
"It provides good security."
 

Cons

"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The stability could be improved."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. You need to pay extra costs for additional modules. The product's licensing costs are yearly."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"The product is available at a low price."
"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
