Ashford Asante - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.

Our main antivirus tool and offers adaptive threat prevention tool
The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious and time consuming task. After raising the call onto the technical support portal, usually receive a notification after 24 hours. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to conclude and resolve the issue. If 24/7 online support or a phone line where we could speak directly with technical support for real-time troubleshooting, that would be very helpful. Licensing is another aspect where trellix should look into. Different purchases are grouped together in single user account get mixed up. Categorization of purchases and their grant numbers is not available to end user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky Total Security directly detects if there are any threats on the internet or when I use a USB stick."
"Kaspersky Total Security has valuable reporting features regarding visibility for trusted sites and safe browsing."
"I am satisfied with the solution's security features because we have been using it for years."
"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."
"The most effective feature is its scanning. When they scan the viruses, they come back with the records quite fast. They make sure that they rectify."
"Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."
"It automatically identifies potential threats in emails, websites, and documents, swiftly blocking or quarantining anything harmful to prevent any damage or infection to my system."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"The extendability is great."
"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."
"The tool could be cheaper."
"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."
"The authorization process could be faster."
"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"The solution’s stability could be improved"
"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."
"There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The solution can be expensive."
