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…

A tool with a great interface that makes deployment and controlling of endpoints easy
I use Webroot Business Endpoint Protection for my company's smaller customers who cannot buy EDRs Webroot Business Endpoint Protection provides a great interface, making deploying and controlling endpoints easy. The most valuable feature of the solution is its web interface for controlling the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"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."
"It's easy to use."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"The tool's interface is good."
"The stability has been good."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"Low performance requirements."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Auto-Remediation"
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"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."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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 think the price of this solution is good."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"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."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"The pricing is high."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
