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

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features."
"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"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."
"They're restricted to endpoint protection for now, I'd like to see some additional products."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"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."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. You need to pay extra costs for additional modules. The product's licensing costs are yearly."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"I prefer paying for a yearly license because it has some discounts. One of the companies I work for pays for the Business Select license, for 100 users."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
