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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"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."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
 

Cons

"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 needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"The stability could be better."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"The performance of our machines tended to slow down under Kaspersky. That definitely needs to be addressed. I remember I had a pretty good Dell Notebook, and this product slowed it down quite a bit."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"It would be better if they merge a few features into one product. For example, they have an encryption feature that is separately sold. If they could merge it with Apex One or any endpoint security solution, maybe it would also be good for the end user."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"We'd like to have more application control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"I prefer paying for a yearly license because it has some discounts. One of the companies I work for pays for the Business Select license, for 100 users."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"The tool is expensive."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"The tool's pricing is high."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
