"This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."

"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."

"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"ESET's updates are mostly manual. That's my biggest concern. I'd like it to be more automatic. I've had to download the new version and run it manually to install it. I've got several workstations like that right now."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"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."
