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

"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"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 solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"It integrates well across different operating systems, including mobile devices like Android and Mac. It effectively manages firewalls, particularly with Fortinet, enhancing overall security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
 

Cons

"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"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 price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"​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."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
