Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"I appreciate the good control it offers. So, I feel confident using this solution."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"The tool's interface is good."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Low performance requirements."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"The solution could provide more integration."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"There were issues with the cloud management."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
