Encryption functionality and scanning performance, and the out-of-office policy is helpful in work-from-home scenarios
Pros and Cons
- "It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
- "he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
What is our primary use case?
We are a solution provider and Kaspersky Endpoint is one of the security products that we implement for our clients.
How has it helped my organization?
Kaspersky is a one-stop solution that covers many things. Often, people deploy multiple solutions to cover tasks such as patch management, application control, device control, and the firewall. Kaspersky covers all of that very well.
What is most valuable?
The out of office policy is a fantastic feature that requires users to first connect to the server using a VPN before they can perform actions. In our current work-from-home scenario, this is very helpful.
Kaspersky gives you a complete inventory of the software that is running in your environment.
The encryption that they provide is a good feature. Today, most computers come by default with BitLocker encryption installed. We do not have to disable it. Rather, we can control it through Kaspersky. For example, we can decrypt it remotely without having to interact with the user, and then automatically move it to Kaspersky's encryption.
It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups. This is something that people might do over VLAN, although they don't have to. For example, if we have a group then we require directors to be in place. Directors are there to communicate with other sections, but the other sections cannot communicate with the group. This provides automatic control over an IP range.
I can do a full scan, every day, in less than ten minutes. This is in part because of the technology they have in place, where a file will not be scanned if it has not been accessed or modified.
The device control is pretty good and we haven't had any problems with it.
What needs improvement?
There are times when we see an agent has been disabled on a machine, and we are not able to determine the reason.
The next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features. It should be able to scan, track, and provide reporting.
Organization-wise, they should have better categorization. For example, they have a social networking category, but it should be subdivided into components such as LinkedIn.
Kaspersky would benefit from including an employee monitoring solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Kaspersky for the past three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is something that has been gradually improving.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment will typically take from an hour and a half to two hours.
A nice feature of the installation process is that it will automatically uninstall existing antivirus solutions before it deploys Kaspersky.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, this is a fantastic solution. I have seen that there are features other vendors are coming out with today that Kaspersky already has.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

It has improved our performance and deployment
Pros and Cons
- "Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
- "It has improved our performance and deployment."
- "I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
- "There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
What is our primary use case?
Kaspersky is fairly good with endpoint management. Though, we do not use Kaspersky at our mail security levels because our mail security is done by another product that we use.
So far, performance has been okay. We just updated to the latest version.
How has it helped my organization?
It has improved our performance and deployment.
What is most valuable?
- The main thing for us is that we get our reporting.
- Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based.
- If any policy has been breached, it will send you a report.
What needs improvement?
- I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features.
- It would be nice if they had a separate email security solution (instead of only their cloud edition), similar to what Forcepoint and Trend Micro have.
- I would rate their encryption as a one out of 10. It needs a lot of improvement.
- There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a fairly stable product.
There have been some disturbances going on in the market due to potential leaking of information, but I don't think we are very much concerned about what's happening in the global space. We know our data is secure at our level. We backing up our data and it is doing its job
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable product. We have been able to create a number of groups where we were to allow policies and deny policies. Another solution did allow us to do this, but we found it was not user-friendly.
How are customer service and technical support?
The technical support is not very good. I think my mind fixes things before they get it together. I would rate the technical support as a three or four out of 10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In the past, we went with Trend Micro. It was okay, but we needed a change, and we opted for Kaspersky. It had a lot more features from an endpoint management standpoint. We found it better in terms of deployment. Normally, with the other solutions, we would face issues with deployment.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not a problem for my team.
What about the implementation team?
The vendor came in to help initially, but in the end, we set it up ourselves.
I don't think it is a good product from a support standpoint.
What other advice do I have?
Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:
- The product should work and do what it promises.
- The vendor and product should have a roadmap.
- Support.

Securing our network is easier since we have divided the task between the antivirus and the overall network firewall
Pros and Cons
- "I can easily manage over 300 computers antivirus from my desk."
- "From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
How has it helped my organization?
Securing our network is now easier since we have divided the task between the antivirus and the overall network firewall. This means different people can focus on the different lines of defense, hence enhancing security.
What is most valuable?
- Network Agent
- Over the network deployment
- Monitoring
- Reporting
- Manipulation
I can easily manage over 300 computers antivirus from my desk. I am able to see detected viruses, run disinfection, and scans remotely. I am able to troubleshoot Kaspersky Antivirus installed on workstations from my desk by uninstalling, starting tasks, communicating with computer users (Network Message), and viewing and deploying to those who are not installed. Updates are also run on a schedule and this saves on bandwidth usage since some updates from the KSC dbase.
What needs improvement?
From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent. This gives us a tough time, since they are in different localities, so we have to run tasks and sometimes manually re-establish the NetAgent connection.
For how long have I used the solution?
Three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
At first, the whole centre concept was new to me, but the documentation really helped as I had a smooth time catching up. I also once lost a KSC server as it crashed and I had to redo all the setup since I had learnt about the backup method. However, the KSC team was and continues to be of great help via their assistance from the company account.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Yes, but it was largely our network settings. Setting up the slave servers is a headache if the network is not well-configured.
How are customer service and technical support?
The support is very good. A 10 out of 10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
This is the solution I found when I joined the organization, so it is hard to tell if it was a switch.
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward, since I used the provided manual/documentation guide.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Not applicable.
What other advice do I have?
It is very reliable, user-friendly endpoint security software. I recommend it to any administrator.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

- "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 deployment itself was very fast and likely took less than a minute or so.
We needed about four people to handle the implementation process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay a yearly licensing fee.
What other advice do I have?
We're using the latest version of the solution at this time.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.

IT at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Many functions and features, best for medium size business and up
Pros and Cons
- "We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
- "There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
What is our primary use case?
We used the solution to protect as against computer viruses.
How has it helped my organization?
We currently have had to move to another solution because we require faster response times and more advanced features other competitors offer.
What is most valuable?
The functions are very good and they have many different features that are available.
What needs improvement?
This solution needs to improve and get up to date with some of the new EDR technology anti-virus software available. There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If the company is big, more than 100 staff with different branches, this solution is good but for small companies, I think it's not very appropriate.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have used support from Kaspersky China. They offer support through email and phone of which they provide a good service, fast response, and an overall professional resolution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We now use Symantec End-user Endpoint Security software as our anti-virus protection solution. We opted to change software because of the current security risk our digital data faces, we needed a more robust solution.
How was the initial setup?
The installation was not a problem.
What about the implementation team?
We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients. For others, the deployment could take more time and might require professionals to do the job.
What was our ROI?
It would be a benefit for this solution to have better-advanced features, less maintenance required for operation, and faster response times.
What other advice do I have?
Due to the current increased global security risks on digital data we have had to search for an alternative solution.
I would have given the solution a ten out of ten a few years ago but they need to improve and provide more features as their competitors.
I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
