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.

A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"It provides good security."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"The signature update is done securely."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"It automatically identifies potential threats in emails, websites, and documents, swiftly blocking or quarantining anything harmful to prevent any damage or infection to my system."
"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
"Kaspersky Total Security is a light agent."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."

Cons

"It's very heavy and it affects the computer's performance."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"This solution would be improved if it were more compatible with Windows Server. There is not a client for Windows Server, like for Windows Workstation, so there are a lot of things you cannot control from the local system, or from the desktop directly. You have to control everything from the policy server, not from the client's side. The interface is kind of light, and it's not good—it could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"The stability could be improved."
"Kaspersky Total Security should be easier to manage and improve user interaction. Resetting often requires some experience, which can be a problem for generic users. Web users also encounter some issues that should be improved."
"Enhancing the encryption code, particularly in relation to ransomware would be a great addition for future use."
"The system can be demanding on resources, making devices busy when running the client application. It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."
"Kaspersky has to improve its response when there is an incident. They need to respond faster."
"Anti-malware and anti-phishing policies in the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool could be cheaper."
"The stability of the solution could be improved because we had some issues with the solution on non-Windows laptops."
