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

"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"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."
"Low performance requirements."
"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."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
 

Cons

"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
