Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Reviews

We use this product because it's a management center and it has good security.

The most valuable feature is the management center. I can do a lot of things with the console on the client.

The interface is very simple.

We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for approximately six years.

This is a stable product.

We have had no problems with scalability. We have approximately 500 users in our company.

I have been in contact with technical support many times, and they are very good.

I have tried BitDefender but its management center is poor. It does not have as many features as Kaspersky has.

I have also used Trend Micro One, but it's not as good as Kaspersky. In Kaspersky, the management center is very simple to use.

I have had some installation problems, but I'm doing well now.

Overall, Kaspersky is a good product. That said, there is no such thing as a perfect solution.  Trend Micro may have a better product, or BitDefender may have one that is better, but I like Kaspersky the most.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

They have been working on it for quite a few years now, and from the beginning, they have been pretty strong in database and network security. The security engine is updated very regularly. They stay on top of it, and if any new threat emerges, they quickly release patches to protect their machines and servers. 

If we compare their strength with that of other companies, like Trend Micro, Trend Micro is a bit faster in upgrading its engines. Trend Micro seems more powerful in stopping any kind of virus or attack, including ransomware and zero-day vulnerabilities. Trend Micro is more active than Kaspersky in this regard. Nonetheless, both are good products, but, Trend Micro currently has a slight edge over Kaspersky.

In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature.

Kaspersky used to have a feature for data recovery or data backup. Initially, their documentation mentioned this capability, allowing users to recover or back up their data within their systems. However, they have since removed this feature entirely and no longer offer it in any of their products, even as a separate service. This feature was quite helpful during attacks, as it allowed for the recovery of databases and other important data.

Kaspersky focuses on improving its security engines and ensuring timely updates. Its products, which used to be heavy and slow-down machines, have become much lighter and now have minimal impact on system performance. 

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business as a partner for 15 years.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business offers two types of support. The first is free support, which may take some time to respond. The second option is paid support, which can be purchased directly from Kaspersky and includes various options. In case of emergencies, network compromises, or if you need help with integrations or policies, you can contact their support team. Their response time depends on the nature of your agreement, ranging from within an hour to within twenty-four hours. They offer different levels of support agreements to suit your needs.

Trend Micro is generally more expensive than Kaspersky. However, Kaspersky is less expensive than Trend Micro for some products, especially for small projects involving endpoint security.

Kaspersky doesn't have a solution that competes with Trend Micro's offerings. Trend Micro's XDR  feature is included in their version 1, which also includes endpoint security. This means that if you buy endpoint security from Trend Micro, you automatically get EDR. In contrast, with Kaspersky, you have to purchase EDR separately, as their endpoint security for business does not include EDR or XDR features.

The licensing models for both products are quite similar. Kaspersky uses a user-based license model.

One of my corporate clients, who has about 150 licenses, recently purchased Kaspersky. Prior to this, they experienced a ransomware attack, which resulted in the loss of their database, servers, and all the information stored on their machines. 

The value of the database and information depends on how critical the client considers their data and emails to be. The potential loss from an attack can be substantial, making it essential to invest in robust security measures. When considering the ROI, Kaspersky can deliver ROI within a year. Recovering from a data loss incident requires significant time, effort, money, and expertise. 

The product is expensive.

If you buy a bundle such as XDR, you purchase per-user licenses. This bundle includes other product features like Endpoint Security and EDR. Therefore, regardless of the specific product you are buying, you will purchase it on a per-user license basis

Kaspersky has become much easier to use. It's very user-friendly. On its website, Kaspersky offers a variety of datasheets, installation guides, and user guides. By following these resources, you can handle the installation on your own. However, if you have an expert or certified engineer in endpoint security, the integration, installation, and configuration process becomes quite easy.

A notable feature is the management console or dashboard. Even if you are using three or four different licenses for your network and subnetworks that are connected to a centralized network but located in different parts of the country, you can manage everything from a single console. You don't need to install a separate console for each license. For instance, if a company has about a thousand users spread out geographically and wants to purchase multiple licenses.

I recommend this solution.

If a company can afford it and is willing to spend more, I suggest considering Trend Micro. However, if they choose Kaspersky, I recommend opting for their high-end solutions like Data or XDR, depending on their budget.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine 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.

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.

It is stable. I rate the solution's stability a seven out of ten.

We have 30 people working on this solution.

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical services helped a lot.

Positive

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 it for Endpoint security, and we manage client security antivirus and device control. We also use it for web monitoring.

The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good.

We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources.

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

I rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

It is a highly scalable solution. I rate it a ten out of ten. Around 178 users are using the solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. We deployed it in-house as well. It's very easy to deploy and integrate it with our main controller and implement it on our servers. It's two clicks. It's very easy to implement.

The solution is comparatively priced. 

It's a very good system. Its centralized dashboard is good. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Recently, I have primarily been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for protection against ransomware. I also use this solution for file encryption. 

This solution is deployed on-prem. 

The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one. 

This solution would be improved if it were more compatible with Windows Server. There is not a client for Windows Server, like for Windows Workstation, so there are a lot of things you cannot control from the local system, or from the desktop directly. You have to control everything from the policy server, not from the client's side. The interface is kind of light, and it's not good—it could be more user-friendly. 

I have been using this solution for three years. 

This solution is a bit stable. The performance is okay, I'm satisfied with it. 

This solution is scalable. 

There are over 100 end users of Kaspersky Endpoint Security in our organization. We have plans to increase usage and buy more licenses because we have some more people. 

I have contacted technical support once before. I asked them for something, and they helped me. I don't think we have asked for help since then. 

Before implementing Kaspersky, we used Symantec. I've found that Kaspersky is better. 

The installation is straightforward. Sometimes it takes five to ten minutes, but it depends on the person. If the person is knowledgeable, it could take two or three minutes, but if not, it takes time. 

For deployment and maintenance, we have the system admin and a team of two. 

We implemented this solution ourselves. 

For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription. 

I rate Kaspersky a nine out of ten, and I would recommend this solution to others. 

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.

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.
