Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Kaspersky is an excellent choice for enterprise security. It supports Windows 10 and earlier versions like Windows 7, ensuring compatibility across various Windows operating systems used by our organization."
"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"Center Management"
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"It performs quite well as a firewall protection provider."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
 

Cons

"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"The performance is not very good."
"The reports aren't so good. To make it a perfect ten they should improve the reports and web interface."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"The price is below average."
