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…

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
"It has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc."
"The stability has been good."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The solution scales well."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. You need to pay extra costs for additional modules. The product's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"It is reasonably priced."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"No comment."
"The price of this product is good."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
