We may be using version 13 or 14, although I can't say for certain. 

The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers.

What needs improvement?

We are dissatisfied with certain functions, such as those for application updates, which are not usable and don't work.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Effective fast scanning, scales well, but lacking new features
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
  • "I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution for endpoint protection against intrusions, such as viruses.

What is most valuable?

One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware.

In an upcoming release, I would like to see DLP, encryption, and a VPN feature. There are a lot of other solutions coming out which claim they have all these features together.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found the solution to be stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have over 3,000 users using the solution in my organization and the solution is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support has been great. When we log a ticket we receive a solution shortly after.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were previously using Symantec.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was easy and not challenging.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Enables us to detect a virus on all of the systems
Pros and Cons
  • "The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
  • "It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for monitoring. 

How has it helped my organization?

Before Kaspersky, I had to control each PC one by one but now it's just one update and it can detect a virus on all of the systems. 

What is most valuable?

The blocking feature is the most valuable feature. 

What needs improvement?

It needs more computer resources. They should have more anti-spam features. 

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's a little more expensive compared to other anti-virus competitors like Symantec. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because it needs more computer resources.

Protects all of out devices from cyberattacks
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution is stable."
  • "Reaching their support team can be difficult."

What needs improvement?

Over the years, I have learned that we always need to keep updating our OS — especially Windows. Any application that sits on Windows needs to be updated. This allows us to better detect and remove any infections. Sometimes, there are a few infections that we can't get rid of. In this case, we have to find another way to clean up the registry; otherwise, we have to reinstall everything again.

In terms of the interface, I prefer something that is simple without so much color. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for the last 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Reaching their support team can be difficult. I've dealt with Sophos before; they were quite responsive to our issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are actually going to be switching to Sophos Endpoint Security.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I think the price of this solution is good. 

What other advice do I have?

Make sure you are online in order to receive updates. The engine itself doesn't do much without updated data. With updates, you'll be at least 90% protected.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

Stable with reasonable pricing and a straightforward installation
Pros and Cons
  • "We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
  • "We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint security and protection.

What is most valuable?

We haven't had any major issues with the solution overall. It's quite a reliable product so far.

The stability has been reliable so far.

The pricing has been quite good and very reasonable.

We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast.

What needs improvement?

We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware. They need to make sure that they are advancing their technology to catch more malicious events. There needs to be more security in place specifically on the malware side of things.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years. It has been a while.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. the performance has been reliable so far. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability hasn't really been tested by our organization. We've never tried to expand it, and therefore I can't speak to how successful expanding it may be for other companies. 

We only have two users of the solution in our company.

At this time, we likely won't keep using the solution.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never opened any tickets with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. I've never dealt with them directly.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was not complex at all. It was very straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process.

The deployment was also quite quick. It only takes a few minutes, if I recall the process correctly. It's not long and drawn out. It's easy.

What about the implementation team?

I handled the implementation myself. It's not difficult. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant at all. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

At the time, when we purchased the solution, the company was giving us the best deal on the market. It's the reason why we ended up choosing it. I don't recall the licensing aspects or if we had to pay for it, and if so, how much.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. 

I haven't suffered from a malicious attack, and therefore I'm treating it quite high, as it is doing what we need it to do. The protection levels so far have been sufficient.

It's a good solution that companies should consider if other options are not available to them.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

We have not encountered any issues with stability or scalability during our usage
Pros and Cons
  • "It has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc."
  • "They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."

How has it helped my organization?

We mostly use the product as an antivirus solution. With Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), we are protected against most new threats.

What is most valuable?

Beside being an antivirus solution, it is an endpoint solution. Therefore, it has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc.

What needs improvement?

They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this product for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

For five years, we have not had any stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For five years, we have not had any scalability issues.

How are customer service and technical support?

Support is actually quick. They try to find the solution fast and comfort you when a problem arises.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No, we did not use another solution before.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was simple. After the setup, you also need to configure rules based on your company needs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluate NOD32, Symantec, and McAfee along with this product.

What other advice do I have?

If they need more than an antivirus solution (like MDM and package deployment), they can still consider the product.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Trend Micro, McAfee, and Sophos.

What other advice do I have?

Must have an up-to-date system and should have minimum a mid-size range server.
