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.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features."
"The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"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."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The deployment could be better."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"It is relatively cheap."
"The pricing is high."
