Featured Reviews

Tom Foal - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Klaatu IT Security Ltd
Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team
A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

Provides a user-friendly experience compared to other endpoint security solutions and excellent real-time threat protection but poor customer service and support
I appreciate the user interface (UI/UX). Kaspersky provides a user-friendly experience compared to other endpoint security solutions. Additionally, Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature. Kaspersky provides excellent real-time threat protection. Your main database server is connected to the Kaspersky server, preventing zero-day exploits, advanced threats, and APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats). This protects your confidential data. Importantly, Kaspersky now uses signature-less technology, a crucial feature for combatting modern viruses, malware, and threats that have evolved beyond traditional signature-based detection. Before 2011, endpoint security worked on signature-based detection. Kaspersky is working on signature-less technology, so I really like that.
