Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.

A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's straightforward to set up."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"There has been a return on investment for our small and medium business users."
"Kaspersky Total Security is a stable solution...Kaspersky Total Security is a scalable solution."
"The solution is efficient."
"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."
"The most beneficial feature of Kaspersky Total Security for me is its all-in-one antivirus solution with continuous signature updates for effective malware detection and prevention."
"The most effective feature is its scanning. When they scan the viruses, they come back with the records quite fast. They make sure that they rectify."
"I respect the solution for its pricing."
 

Cons

"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The stability of the solution could be improved because we had some issues with the solution on non-Windows laptops."
"The authorization process could be faster."
"The solution’s stability could be improved"
"Enhancing the encryption code, particularly in relation to ransomware would be a great addition for future use."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."
"There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."
"It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."
