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.
Shreyansh Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's interface is good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"It provides good security."
"Easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The stability has been great."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"Malware protection for Kaspersky should be revolutionized, where they no longer work with signatures, but with more advanced ways of detecting malware, such as Cylance or Traps from Palo Alto."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business should improve its reporting. There are also some issues in the cloud portal. The solution's pricing can be cheaper."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."

"I think the price of this solution is good."

"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product pricing is high."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."

"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
