Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Reviews

Initially, we used the solution for endpoint protection, but now we also use it for detection response.

I like the fact that the solution is automated to a large extent, and it works on its own with minimal intervention. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure.

The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now. The solution could add a sandbox in which we could simulate files. The technical support team’s response time could be improved.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for 12 years.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support used to be slow, and they forced you to get paid support. With free support, you typically get a response in a day or two for your queries.

Neutral

I have previously used McAfee and Norton. McAfee used to be quite heavy on the system, and quite a lot of malware used to fall through it back then.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a nine out of ten.

For a 2,500-user environment, it took a week to deploy the solution. Our IT team worked on the implementation of the solution.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

The solution is centrally managed. We deploy the network agent with Windows tools and then deploy the endpoint security through the network agent. The solution has effectively improved our endpoint security posture, and we've not had any ransomware issues. The solution has a negative impact on the performance of our endpoints.

We can do some investigation with the EDR component. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We're using Kaspersky on our server and some clients. It is the only security solution we have for these systems. We manage website categories through it, similar to how some website brands manage their categories. For example, we categorize websites like Facebook. Our approach to website management may differ slightly.

Kaspersky provides robust protection. It allows us to manage 30 clients from a single PC. We monitor and block data transfers via USB to prevent virus infections and other threats. 

Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience.

It is not stable. It may not meet all our current requirements. Clients might face issues, which implies that our infrastructure might not be robust enough to handle additional components or tasks.

The admin console interface is difficult to navigate. If you don't use it for an extended period, you might encounter issues when looking for specific functions or events. Additionally, the UNC.exe file is still being utilized, which can affect system performance. It's important to periodically reinstall and update the software to ensure everything functions correctly. Managing a large infrastructure with this system may require additional effort and resources.

The admin console must be a little bit easier.

We have been working with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for three years.

Deployment takes two days to complete. I am the only person doing it.

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten.

I rate the pricing as five out of ten, whereas ten is expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for protection against malware.

Kaspersky detects and moves issues to quarantine.

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. Whether it's PCs or servers, Kaspersky provides robust protection and supports private communication. In case of security threats such as Java vulnerabilities or malicious links, Kaspersky effectively mitigates risks. It's important to note that while Kaspersky Endpoint Security can be installed on Windows 7, it integrates with Windows 10 without disrupting network connectivity.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for three years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

If we pay more money for support, we got a convenient support, but we paid for minimum charges.

Neutral

The initial setup takes five business days. One person is enough for the deployment.

Pricing is very reasonable for a small companies. It cost around 64 dollars.

It works very fine and prevent any issues for operation. It is valued by estimated ten million.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the solution in my company for endpoints and for anti-malware purposes. I use the solution for the endpoints in our infrastructure, so it allows me to block USBs or any other incoming connections from unknown sources.

The tool is easy to use for me, especially if it is the on-premises version. The product is easy to install. The best thing about the solution stems from the fact that it is available at a very low price with a lot of features that can be modified to meet the users' requirements. The policies of the product are easy to use.

The product is hard to use on a cloud server. From an improvement perspective, the use of the product on a cloud server should be made better. The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for five to six years. I don't remember the version of the solution. My company has a partnership with Kaspersky.

The major problem I have with the product stems from the fact that it needs more RAM space. My company has to make more RAM space.

Around 2,000 people in my company use the product.

I am very happy with the solution's technical support team.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

Users must install MySQL first, after which they can install Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, after which they can use a package installer from another client that automatically connects the tool on the server, making it an easy process.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two.

The product is available at a low price.

The integration of the tool with our company's existing IT infrastructure is good and helpful.

In my company, we have choices. If I want to use a cloud-based tool for endpoint security, we use Sophos. If I want an on-premises endpoint security product, I prefer Kaspersky.

If you want cheap endpoint security, especially on an on-premises server, I highly recommend Kaspersky since it is easy to use, install, and available at a low price.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

Use cases really depend on how you configure it. It's an endpoint security solution that goes beyond anti-malware and anti-spam. It also includes network protection, vulnerability audits, and other features you might need.

First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me. Another thing I value is the alarm support with EDR active. It helps me root cause issues and detect suspicious behavior.

Most companies aren't familiar with Kaspersky's MDR offering. Everyone's talking about XDR and MDR solutions now, and Kaspersky mainly offers EDR. I believe they should consider more advanced solutions, especially for ransomware protection and similar critical threats. They might have these solutions, but our provider might not be giving us proper insights. Again, it's possible these features exist, but our reseller isn't making us aware. 

In future releases, I would like to see a few things. First, I'd like a centralized view for managing security across a large organization with multiple offices. 

Second, some built-in solutions can alert IT about suspicious behavior before any damage occurs, like applications sending unusual emails or data alerts.

I want to add that performance needs to be considered. Security doesn't require ongoing configuration. My crucial point is whether the solution, with my configuration from six months ago, still provides adequate security. In terms of support,  I was thinking of a managed security service provider because security isn't our primary business, and we lack the necessary skills to manage it ourselves. We rely on others to do it.

We lack the skills and need a third-party provider with expertise. So, we have a third party that can provide managed security services and keep me updated on the latest products and practices. I just need to be confident we're using the best available solution.

I have been using this solution for more than five years now. I've experience with this product but with an advanced license.

It is a stable solution. But there are better solutions, or perhaps upgrades might be better.

It is a highly scalable solution. We are an enterprise business, so we have around a thousand end users. 

I receive support from our reseller at Kaspersky.

Neutral

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a seven out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

The deployment process needs an expert, so it takes hours to configure all the features properly. It's not a quick process.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten because, again, I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing.

In my company, we use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, just like how we use Sophos Central and Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good.

The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

Once you look at the console from the on-premises version, you can see that the GUI mode is very old, meaning you feel like you are dealing with something vintage in nature. The tool's GUI mode is not updated to a new one. Kaspersky should change settings or parameters and make it easy enough for users to create policies since, presently, some difficulties are encountered when creating the policies. The tool needs to change some components in the console to make the product easy to access and configure the policies.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for two years.

There are no bugs in the product. It is a stable solution.

I know about a company that has around 600 users of the solution where I did the configuration.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises model.

Once my company gets the license, we access the URL, after which we use the URL for configuration, license activation, creating agents, and creating the necessary policies, after which we take care of the setup phase for handing over the product to the customer.

The tool is expensive.

To those who plan to use the solution, I would say that we need a dedicated server to deploy the tool in several places.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We install Kaspersky to protect our endpoints for clients and servers. In the past, Kaspersky had different solutions for the clients and servers. We use the solution for protection from viruses, malware, etc., on the client's side.

I'm not sure if we'll increase usage of Kaspersky or try another solution. We are having discussions now with Trend Micro because we have new business requirements, and we want to see all the different capabilities that are there.

When we started with Kaspersky, it was an antivirus system, but now they've added endpoint protection, so it has more capabilities. Trend Micro has the same product and engine for clients and servers. We are using another product from Trend Micro that will integrate these products, which is better than having different solutions. For now, we're still using Kaspersky, but in the future, I think we'll move to Trend Micro.

With Kaspersky in place, we haven't faced any problems with viruses, ransomware, or anything like that. 

If something critical happens, Kaspersky will alert the admin or SOC team about it. I think Kaspersky's reporting, monitoring, and notifications should be more detailed.  

In my case, different admins are responsible because we have various departments. There is one admin per department. We don't need to receive all the notifications. We can receive only the critical alerts, but the other admins need to get all of them. That's one area where Kaspersky needs improvement.

I've been using Kaspersky for five or six years.

The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us. However, the performance wasn't optimal out of the box. It needed some tuning on it to be sure that it is the best configuration. Kaspersky is reliable. I can't recall any time we had crashes or downtime.

Kaspersky is highly scalable. Right now, we have more than 500 users in various departments, including regular employees and managers.

Kaspersky support is fast and good.

Setting up Kaspersky isn't complex at all. It's straightforward. You install the server, and then you can install the agent remotely. It didn't take very long either. For post-installation maintenance, we have different sites, and each site has an engineer responsible for handling Kaspersky. The product doesn't necessarily require this many engineers. It's only because we have different locations. Right now, we have five or six engineers across the various sites.

We used a Kaspersky partner for implementation. They were very good.

I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable,
especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support. We've owned the license for a long time, and we are now bringing in the support, so we are not paying much for this.

Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license. That would save the customers from having to do lots of implementations. As far as I know, they do not have a bundled license. 

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security seven out of 10. I think Kaspersky is one of the best products for small and medium-sized businesses. It doesn't need that much experience for implementation and support. I would suggest that new users be patient when they're tuning in the first implementation. They might find that the system uses a lot of resources and the machines become slow. But after spending some time tuning, the product will work fine.

I used the solution for signature-based detection, machine learning, threat detection, behavior-based detection, and for the endpoint.

The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics. The solution's reporting capabilities are good. I can generate and schedule custom reports from it. It's helpful and gives us a high, medium, and low-risk-based approach.

Some threats were able to bypass the solution's detection.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for four years.

I haven’t faced any stability issues with this solution.

The solution’s technical support is okay.

Positive

I have worked with other tools, but I like Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business because it gives full endpoint control, including detection, vulnerability management, and file integrity.

The solution fulfilled our needs for the endpoints, including enhanced security and detection for the endpoints.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
