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…
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

"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"The setup and implementation are easy."
"The stability has been good."
"It performs quite well as a firewall protection provider."
"The interface is friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Low performance requirements."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"Some threats were able to bypass the solution's detection."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"The stability could be better."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"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."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"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."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
