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…

The product has excellent patch management features, but it does not provide technical support in the Middle East
The product does not have technical partners in the Middle East. It only has sales partners. I do not like the sales partners in UAE. They did not support me when I needed help with security. The vendor must provide a subscription-based model. Now, they have a prepaid model. Our clients and partners like subscriptions. Subscriptions let us use and then pay. Currently, we pay and then use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The admin capabilities are great."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"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."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
 

Cons

"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"The threat intelligence features are not up to date."
"The admin console must be a little bit easier."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"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."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price of this solution is good."
"The tool is expensive."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"The price is comparable."
