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 is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"This product is easy to use."
"The interface is friendly."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"The policies are easy to make and controlled by the Kaspersky Administrative Security Center, which comes at no additional costs."
 

Cons

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The user interface is outdated."
"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."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"The product is expensive."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"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.​"
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
