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.

Though it provides good endpoint security, there is a need to improve scalability
I don't have any idea about the implementation part because the tool was configured in my company's infrastructure. When I joined the organization, everything was configured. Currently, I am involved in the endpoint management and control. My company uses the product for the endpoints in our company so that it offers protection against viruses and other malicious activities. My company operates as a service provider, owing to which we deal with multiple clients and their data, which are stored in a PDF format. My company also provides applications to our clients. There are different types of data that my company protects from malicious activities and ransomware attacks. The most beneficial part of the product for our company's security needs stems from the fact that it offers an agentless service, which makes it better to manage our endpoint devices. I am not the right person to speak about how the full disc encryption capability of Trend Micro has impacted our data protection strategies since I am not the right person to provide any information about it. I am a system engineer who manages virtualization tools like VMware. There is a separate team for endpoint management in my organization. Speaking about the user experience and management console of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, I would say that the product offers a very unique GUI. The unique GUI of the tool makes it possible to easily use the management console for some tasks, like creating and downloading reports. There is a separate team with six to seven engineers in my company to manage the troubleshooting part of endpoint solutions. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is easy to use. The product is useful in the area of ePO reporting. It is very easy to create general reports with the product. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"It has improved our performance and deployment."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"Fast encryption feature."
"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"We use the solution for data encryption."
"Very good interface."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
"Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"Support from them was not fast."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically."
"Integration and support could be improved."
"I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
"In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"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."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
