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 most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"The interface is friendly."
"The malware threat detection has been excellent overall."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"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."
 

Cons

"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"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 licensing fees could be reduced."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"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."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"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."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
