Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

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 initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a strong yet lightweight tool. It allows us to control machines even when disconnected from the network. In offline mode, we can generate passwords and access the system. The policies it offers are robust."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very powerful tool for us. We use a lot of third-party software that integrates well with the solution."
"The stability has been good."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"The product offers support only through mail and not on the phone."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"The price is very competitive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
