Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"It has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The tool's interface is good."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
 

Cons

"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The performance of our machines tended to slow down under Kaspersky. That definitely needs to be addressed. I remember I had a pretty good Dell Notebook, and this product slowed it down quite a bit."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"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 license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
