Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"This product is easy to use."
"The best features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are the file threat protection, web threat protection, mail threat protection, network threat protection, firewall, behavior detection, and exploit prevention."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
 

Cons

"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution could provide more integration."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"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."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"There is an annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
