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

"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a strong yet lightweight tool. It allows us to control machines even when disconnected from the network. In offline mode, we can generate passwords and access the system. The policies it offers are robust."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"The setup and implementation are easy."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very powerful tool for us. We use a lot of third-party software that integrates well with the solution."
"The signature update is done securely."
 

Cons

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"​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."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The performance level could be better."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"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.​"
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"The tool is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
