"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."

"The solution's access control could be improved."

"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."

"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
