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…

Is able to make several campaigns work in parallel, but the user interface needs improvement
It's mainly used by the cybersecurity team for Windows patching and deployment of some software solutions I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"The setup and implementation are easy."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
 

Cons

"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
