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…

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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"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."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"The software is easy to install."
"There has been a return on investment for our small and medium business users."
"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
"I respect the solution for its pricing."
"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."
"Kaspersky Total Security directly detects if there are any threats on the internet or when I use a USB stick."
"Kaspersky Total Security has valuable reporting features regarding visibility for trusted sites and safe browsing."
"It is a stable product."
 

Cons

"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."
"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."
"The stability of the solution could be improved because we had some issues with the solution on non-Windows laptops."
"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."
"The solution’s stability could be improved"
"Its interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."
"Regarding improvement, Kaspersky has a slightly larger system footprint, leading to a 5-10% performance slowdown compared to when I wasn't using Kaspersky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."

"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"It's an affordable security solution."
