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 initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"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."
"Kaspersky is an excellent choice for enterprise security. It supports Windows 10 and earlier versions like Windows 7, ensuring compatibility across various Windows operating systems used by our organization."
"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"The platform's IP detection feature is particularly effective in identifying connections to our servers."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"Deep Security is a good product for managing a few servers."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"I like the anti-malware features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Sometimes the patching is a bit slow."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"The tool should integrate SIM functionality. It should also improve customer support."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
