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.
Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

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 is a very good and reliable product."
"I can easily manage over 300 computers antivirus from my desk."
"This solution is stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very powerful tool for us. We use a lot of third-party software that integrates well with the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the management center."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"When comparing Kaspersky Endpoint Security to any other solution, Our customers like mostly the reliability, and the ability to defend against viruses, worms, and attacks. It is easy to use and very light on the end-user machine's resources."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"Technical support is good."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"Patch management is most valuable. The major selling point of Deep Security is that it is based on the cloud. Deep Security is for the servers and databases of data centers, and generally, for patch management, you have to shut down the machines, and then you have to restart them. So, they need shutdown time, which is a cost. Big enterprises don't want to shut down their database or their data center for any kind of patch. Deep Security creates a wall and downloads all patches. You install it on the cloud. So, it saves your server from any kind of intrusion or any kind of penetration, and whenever you get a chance or time, in six, eight, or nine months, you can physically download or install all those patches in one go. So, it saves you time. It also saves your shutdown time and keeps your data center safe."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
 

Cons

"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"The support must provide quick responses."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"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."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"The solution could use more integration."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."

"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
