Enables us to reduce costs and offers manufacturing control
Pros and Cons
  • "The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
  • "This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security. There are two products: 

  1. Kaspersky Skill Center (supply management)
  2. Kaspersky Endpoint Security

We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for manual production and supply production. We also use it for additional control in manufacturing.

How has it helped my organization?

Kaspersky Endpoint Security did help us a little but there were still some problems. For example, we had problems in processing payment issues from the gateway country. 

Overall, we implemented Kaspersky Endpoint Security because it enabled us to reduce costs.

What is most valuable?

The manual production is what drew us to Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

What needs improvement?

This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control.

They should include some BMP features, like a BD board or MP board and some D&B company in the near future. That would be good.

For how long have I used the solution?

Three to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is very stable and we haven't faced any issues as of now.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Kaspersky Endpoint Security is very simple and easy. You don't need to buy a separate server or hardware. It can easily be configured. 

Right now we have more than 4,500 users. Two staff members are required to maintain the solution.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support with Kaspersky is really good. The response from customer support is on time. We have a Kaspersky support license, so our response time is almost two hours. 

Usually, with Kaspersky customer support, we will have a solution within two hours.

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

We have seven countries under us. Some of the countries were using McAfee and some of the countries were using Symantec.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment took only two machines and was completed in less than a month.

What about the implementation team?

We used an integrator company and the experience was very good.

What was our ROI?

For ROI, we are working on some issues. Kaspersky has helped a lot. We get feeds from all over the world. We have to log these and find integrity checks in our industry. 

This is also some regulatory requirement. In the end, it's also helped us plan our contribution as well. For our part, Kaspersky Endpoint Security has helped us a lot.

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

Our license for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is on a yearly basis. We have a yearly subscription. They have multiple options available at no additional costs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The remote management and new client process, plus the support, led us to Kaspersky. We are very satisfied with Kaspersky products.

In the latest tests, there were some issues there. We had decided to go with Kasperksy, but we reevaluated McAfee, Symantec, and other solutions. In the end, we chose Kasperksy.

What other advice do I have?

The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution. 

Everything can be done with Kaspersky Endpoint Security. The good thing is that the epicenter of support staff doesn't have to go climbing through the issues. 

They make it very easy for us to manage solutions. I would rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Great security and stability
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
  • "Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."

What is our primary use case?

We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for user protection. 

This solution is deployed on-premises. 

What is most valuable?

Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions. 

What needs improvement?

Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth.  

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for more than five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This product is stable. 

Our team has done some automating and set up auto-maintenance.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

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

The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees.

Uses little processing power, is quite stable, and has an easy initial setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has been quite stable."
  • "The solution could be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for version and device control. That's why we have moved to Kaspersky. It's meant to be assisting us with device and control issues.

What is most valuable?

The solution is light. It's is easy on the client-side, and even on the server. It doesn't take much processing power. There's no bottleneck of the applications.

We have the ability to restrict users and third-party VPNs. We have control over the user and application access and have put in place policy-based safeguards also.

The solution has been quite stable.

The scalability is good. 

We have found the initial setup to be rather straightforward. 

What needs improvement?

We found that, for some reason, some site URLs were being blocked in Kaspersky. However, we have since found a solution. As it stands now, the URL opening issue has been resolved on our end.

The solution could be more secure. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Kaspersky for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. The performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the product has been good overall. If you need to expand it, you can.

In head office, we are using the product on the client end for about 100 plus people. On the server end, we use it as well for about 60.

How are customer service and support?

We've never contacted technical support as we have not found any complexity regarding the product. It's a product that is easy to deploy and control. 

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

We are also using Symantec. While we have been using Kaspersky for about two years, we've used Symantec for around eight to ten years.

We also leverage a Cisco-based firewall to increase security.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very straightforward and simple. It's not difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

We have two personnel that handle deployment and maintenance. One is currently managing it, and the other is managing the client end.

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

We have a yearly license with Kaspersky currently. It has already gotten renewed after its first expiry. We will renew it. When we renew it, we tend to make sure it's also as up-to-date as possible. 

What other advice do I have?

We have the latest version of the solution installed currently.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We are quite happy with its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

Needs more visibility and threat hunting
Pros and Cons
  • "I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
  • "Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We deploy it to every computer, server, and workstation within our network and also some home computers and laptops for endpoint protection.

What is most valuable?

I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints.

What needs improvement?

Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved.

We can't monitor outside of the network, so scalability could be improved as well.

The ability to control notifications regarding updates and licensing from one main computer would be great. At present, you have to physically go to each computer when a new agreement pops up. We have about 100 licenses, and this can be time consuming.

Technical support could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the last six to seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's pretty stable. In the last six to seven years, we have encountered problems with the memory once or twice and had them fixed.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As for scalability, we can't monitor outside of the network. For instance, if we deployed Kaspersky on laptops, we won't be able to monitor all the laptops at home. We lose control, so I think scalability could be improved as well.

How are customer service and technical support?

My experience with technical support has been okay, but it could be better.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was pretty easy. We deployed the administration server and then used the administration server to push all the agents, Kaspersky agent and then Kaspersky Endpoint.

It took about a day to deploy the solution in our environment with about 60 devices within the network.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed it through a team in-house.

What was our ROI?

It's good, but we want more features. It's good for the price though.

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

The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year.

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure how good the EDR side, the endpoint detection and protection, is. Is it based on behavioral detection or only based on file signature? Does it compare any known viruses to databases for all known viruses? Can it detect a new virus based on the behavior of the process?

If it got infected by a new virus, new malware, it may not detect it. I question if it's good for behavioral detection. I think the cloud version will be better, but I have not tried it.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security at three because other products provide more visibility and more EDR features.

Great pricing with an easy initial setup and good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The price per endpoint is excellent."
  • "The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection along with catering to Office 365, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, or Exchange - along with Windows update services.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution has definitely improved how our organization functions.

What is most valuable?

The solution, for what it does overall, is a very attractive solution.

The price per endpoint is excellent.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's pretty easy.

The solution has been very stable for us. We haven't had any issues with performance.

The scalability is there if a company needs to expand.

What needs improvement?

The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak. It needs to be improved upon. They could do a better job of making it more robust.

There's always room for improvement in everything, however, I can't think of a specific feature that is missing or lacking.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for well over a year at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product has been extremely stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance has been good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability has been good so far. I haven't run into any issues as far as scaling goes. That said, we aren't an enterprise. I've had it as high as 300 clients.

For us, we probably have about a hundred users and I'd say a large majority of those are production floor people. The rest (25 to 30) are front office staff.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never used technical support before. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. It's just not something I've dealt with.

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

We used to have Cisco AMP. We switched over to Kaspersky.

The reason we switched was really related to a price point and wanting to push out Windows updates, kind of more than device management type functionality.

How was the initial setup?

We've found the initial setup to be pretty simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex. A company shouldn't have any problem with the implementation process.

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

The cost structure is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive, which is part of the draw of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the version number.

In general, we've been quite happy with the solution overall. I would rate it at a seven out of ten.

Top 5
The antivirus, the firewall, and the network blocker features are valuable

How has it helped my organization?

It helps me with the security policies that I make. I can change policies quickly and easily.

Also, it stopped ransomware that other vendors could not catch.

What is most valuable?

The valuable features are the antivirus, the firewall, the network blocker, and application and device control.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see improvements in the device control features, which are limited.

I can block devices by the policy in the device control such as usb and cd but i can block devices like sound that not supported by Kaspersky
I would see update in the device control policy that let me add devices by its id
To control them by block or allow it
That will help the administrator for full control and will rate the kaspersky to be the number one in the field

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There were no stability issues.

How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

Customer service is excellent.

Technical Support:

I used technical support through a vendor and they were perfect.

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

I previously used Symantec Endpoint. I switched because it's weak against ransomware attacks and against email attachments containing viruses and Trojan horses.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and I had no problem with it.

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

Pricing and licensing is good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated other options like McAfee, Sophos, Symantec Endpoint, and FortiClient, but they weren’t good enough for me.

What other advice do I have?

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides a full suite of endpoint security features in one easy-to-manage application. With this product deployed, administrators can ensure endpoints are protected from malware, as well as perform a host of functions, such as patch and systems management, encryption of both files and whole disks, and application control. Furthermore, this tool features mobile device management and security capabilities. All this functionality can be driven from a single management console that is well integrated with the existing enterprise infrastructure.

Kaspersky is the best antivirus software to this day, always was, always will (i hope so). It offers a great protection against viruses and spywares

Kaspersky Endpoint Security offers a powerful and robust system for securing systems in a business environment. Its scanning and detection engine handles most threats easily and is well developed to deal with new threats that continually come down the pipeline. The program is also easy to use as an end user. its encryption system does a very good job of securing sensitive files without a performance hit on most systems. Endpoint also has great administrative tools for setting up the program and for ongoing maintenance purposes. As an added plus, the program also works with other non-Windows systems which can be highly valuable in a mixed system OS environment.
