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.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is quite scalable."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"It performs quite well as a firewall protection provider."
"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."
"The stability has been good."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"Great technical support staff."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"The solution could be more secure."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
