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

"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
 

Cons

"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"The firewall security could be better."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
"The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The stability could be better."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"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."
