Karim Mostafa - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
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

"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"Endpoint Security's most valuable feature is its heuristic analysis. This heuristic approach means that it learns from its past experiences. It is the most valuable feature they have. This contributes to dealing with ransomware, detection, and early mitigation actions."
"The solution is secure."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"We like the Smart protection and the Virtual patching."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
 

Cons

"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution could provide more integration."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"The price could be reduced."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable, especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"The training needs improvement. It is expensive (classroom training), and it is often hard to find answers by yourself using the documentation."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"From a pricing perspective, I would say the product is economical...The payments are made on a yearly basis towards the licensing of the solution."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace is like shopping on Amazon Prime."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
