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

"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"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 stability has been good."
"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."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"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

"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."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"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."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"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."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"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."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"Data loss prevention (DLP) in email security."
"The solution could use better reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"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."
"​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 license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable, especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
