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.

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 main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"It has helped our company protect the confidential data of our customers."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"Installation and deployment through the Kaspersky Security Center is straightforward and efficient, taking minimal time to complete."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"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."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"The threat intelligence features are not up to date."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"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 comparatively priced."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"Work on a price tier plan."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"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."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
