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.

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

"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"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 integrates well across different operating systems, including mobile devices like Android and Mac. It effectively manages firewalls, particularly with Fortinet, enhancing overall security posture."
"The stability has been good."
"Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
 

Cons

"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"​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."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
