A soldid antivirus that is easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
  • "The stability could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I use the free version of the solution on my personal computer to protect from viruses and threats. I do not do daily scans on my computer because I don't use my personal computer too much.

What is most valuable?

I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer. If there is a virus, it'll pop up and protect me.

What needs improvement?

The stability could be improved. It doesn't work in the background for everything. In this regard, Symantec is a better product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used this product for almost five years. I'm using the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Kaspersky Total Security a nine out of ten.

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

We used Symantec at my old company. I didn’t manage the product. It was installed on my computer. Another team managed the product. For example, if there was an update they pushed it, and if there was a virus, they checked the solution.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very easy. It took three to five minutes to deploy the solution.

What about the implementation team?

I installed the solution myself.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Kaspersky Total Security an eight out of ten. It's a very enterprise product, and most companies use it. From an end-user perspective, it is a good product. It doesn't swell your computer, unlike its competitors.

Symantec is commonly used in Turkey, and I've seen ten to 15 companies using Symantec solutions.
