838,713 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is good, but if I want to update any patch or update for 2000 to 3000 machines, it can be difficult sometimes. If it is below 2000 machines, then it is fine.
In our organization, we have 3000 users utilizing the product.
How are customer service and support?
The local support that they have here are great, especially for on-premise. If I call them, they can reach us very quickly. The issue is that they aren't always so knowledgeable. Kaspersky didn't provide enough training for them.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward, not so complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing and licensing is competitive. It's not so different from its competitors.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
At the moment, we don't have any alternatives that we are considering.
What other advice do I have?
Think about the performance issues first. If I have a very good solution, but it slows down your server performance, then the productivity of your place will go down. The performance issues should be considered. Scalability should also be considered, then security issues.
We are not happy with this solution and want it to change.

Will not hurt the overall performance of the end user by hurting the speed of their machine
Pros and Cons
- "We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
- "There should be some AI involved. We already have machine learning involved in recent releases but machine learning should be more enhanced in the upcoming versions."
What is our primary use case?
It doesn't slow down your machine's speed for the end user which is why we chose Kaspersky. It's performing great.
How has it helped my organization?
We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end.
What is most valuable?
The encryption is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
There should be some AI involved. We already have machine learning involved in recent releases but machine learning should be more enhanced in the upcoming versions.
The logs should be more simplified and more interactive for the end user. These are the areas I feel they need to improve on.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is very good as of now. Kaspersky has some cool features that every organization needs to adopt as far as endpoint security is concerned.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've had a good impression of the scalability.
How are customer service and technical support?
Our first point of contact for support is from our partners. We mostly deal with them.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have multiple criteria when choosing a solution. First of all the scalability of the solution is the main criteria for me, then the technical support, especially customer service. Lastly, the ease of use is important for us.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was quite easy. We only needed some material that was available online and there wasn't any issue when installing Kaspersky. It was quite easy, a normal IT person can do it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated two or three vendors before choosing Kaspersky. We chose Kaspersky because of the impact of endpoint machines. Usually, endpoint security software hurts the speed of the user's system while running scans but Kaspersky does not. Another reason we went with Kaspersky is because of the cost.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten. An eight because of the ease of usability, the deployment is easier than other solutions and because the artificial intelligence is more stable than other solutions and finally, because of the scalability.
Kaspersky will not be a headache for your IT team and it will not hurt the overall performance of the end user by hurting the speed of their machine. It is quite simple to implement and manage.

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.

Scalable and reliable, but needs better intrusion tracing
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
- "We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution in our company for security against intrusions. However, we cannot trace the source of the issue without the EDR which we are planning to implement soon. We are able to receive the report from the server and which SNMP traps are from what system but that is all.
What needs improvement?
We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions.
In an upcoming release, they could improve by providing features, such as EDR and better tracing of intrusion.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for approximately five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not had any stability issues and after each new version, the stability gets better.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have not contacted technical support but we have vendor support that has been good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used Trend Micro and Symantec previously. We switch to this solution most recently from Symantec because the resource consumption was too high and the reporting was not good.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Straightforward to deploy with reliable service and strong brand recognition
Pros and Cons
- "The stability has been good."
- "It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily implement the solution for our clients. It's primarily for securing endpoints.
What is most valuable?
This solution has a good history. We began with Kaspersky. It had a lot of market share and people were very aware of this product.
The solution can scale.
The stability has been good.
What needs improvement?
The price is a bit expensive. Since 2018, we were moved from Kaspersky South Africa to Kaspersky France. They began increasing the price. In the beginning, they gave us rebates. We began with 25% and now we're down to 12%.
It's more and more difficult for our customers. It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution has been stable. Sometimes clients might have configuration issues, however, we have been able to deal with that and help them through. It doesn't crash or freeze. there aren't bugs. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable and has an add-on EDR as an option. If a company wants to expand its offering, it can. It's not an issue.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have many solutions that we deal with. The best is Kaspersky for sure. However, we are expanding our business on Symantec, also, for the last three years. With Acronis, we are just beginning. We have no more than one year with this product.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment isn't bad. We can help clients with it and walk them through it to make everything easy.
What about the implementation team?
We are able to assist clients if they need help with the initial setup
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is growing more expensive and it's becoming an issue.
What other advice do I have?
We are using the latest version of the solution, the Cloud Free Plus with add-on EDR. The last version.
I'd advise potential new users to be confident in the product.
I'm satisfied with the product, however, I'm not really going any deeper with it than I already am. If you don't have protection, ransomware might get you, and then things will be a mess. It's good to have some protection.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been happy with the product's capabilities.
