Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"The most valuable feature is the management center."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
 

Cons

"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"Malware protection for Kaspersky should be revolutionized, where they no longer work with signatures, but with more advanced ways of detecting malware, such as Cylance or Traps from Palo Alto."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The product is available at a low price."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
