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

"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."
"The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"Easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"Installation and deployment through the Kaspersky Security Center is straightforward and efficient, taking minimal time to complete."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"The deployment could be better."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"The solution could improve by providing a cloud service that synchronizes with the on-premise console which would give better connectivity in remote areas."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price of this solution is good."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
