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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"We found the installation to be very straightforward and the deployment process to be very fast."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"Center Management"
"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."
"Speed"
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Auto-Remediation"
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"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."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
"The tool is expensive."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
"The product is available at a low price."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
