The installation requires an experienced user.

We have two mechanical team members to maintain this solution.

Provides anti-spam, trojan/worm detection/prevention but CPU and memory usage need work
Pros and Cons
  • "Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
  • "The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."

What is our primary use case?

For preventing virus spreads in our networks (servers and PCs). In my experience, Kaspersky products have comprehensive and quick zero-day response for global and local (Indonesia) threats, including spam, Trojans, worms, etc.

My environment consists of 30 servers and 200 PCs and laptops with no USB and CD/DVD media restriction. Eighty percent of all clients have internet connection without any restriction policy.

How has it helped my organization?

Decreases IT threats, incidents from outside the environment as well as internal. Reduces cost and time when handling incidents, including mitigation, restore backup, recovery, reducing/preventing file/data error caused by the threat.

What is most valuable?

Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention.

What needs improvement?

The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint security encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What other advice do I have?

I rate it at seven out of 10. It would be an eight if they could decrease memory and CPU usage.

Scalable, easy to use, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is quite scalable."
  • "The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used in order to protect computers. It also helps you avoid issues online.

What is most valuable?

The solution has been very stable. The performance is good.

The product is quite scalable.

We use it at our enterprise, and it's been extremely beneficial.

We've found the product to be easy to use.

What needs improvement?

The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for around two years at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. We don't deal with any types of crashing or freezing.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can scale if you need it to. That's not a problem.

Right now, in our organization, about 25 people use it.

How are customer service and technical support?

We've never used technical support before. We've never had to call them. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

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

For an antivirus product, I used to use McAfee. However, I had some information stolen from my computer and therefore I had to change products. It didn't protect me very well. 

How was the initial setup?

I did not handle the installation process. There's another team that manages that aspect of the solution. Therefore, I can't comment directly on how easy or difficult it was to implement.

There is a systems manager that handles any maintenance that may be required.

What about the implementation team?

We had a team that handled it internally.

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

You do have to pay for a license. We pay a yearly licensing fee. I can't speak to the exact cost, however. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and an end-user. I do not have a business relationship with Kaspersky.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been quite please with its performance. 

I'd recommend it to other users and organizations.
