Featured Reviews

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Development Manager for Cybereason at Bechtle
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.

General Manager at water company benisuef
Centralized protection has improved malware defense and simplifies on‑premises deployment
What I like in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that I tried the deployment on only the endpoint with no EDR, and it is easy to use. Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business's anti-malware feature has a positive effect. Centralized security management in Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is good, but many errors appear in the software management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is endpoint management...The solution's support team is quite good at giving us feedback if there is an issue."
"Automated information on zero-day threats is provided without us needing to ask."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
"The deployment and implementation of Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business are easy to deploy with no difficulties."
"A good aspect of Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that you can deploy it from the server to the end users, and you are able to manage and monitor each and every endpoint, including how it behaves and what things are coming in through a certain endpoint."
"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
 

Cons

"The interface, particularly the dashboard we use for looking at alerts, could be improved."
"For every new client or every new case, my company has to spin up a new instance, because of which there is a new URL."
"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service."
"The response time could be enhanced."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"What could be improved about Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business is that many errors appear on the console software, and sometimes I do not know why these errors appear on the console software."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, Cybereason Managed Detection & Response is effective for larger companies, but if you have a small company with less than 1,000 employees, then it gets expensive."
"The price is below average."
