Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sampath Acharya - PeerSpot reviewer
Full disk encryption safeguards data effectively and customer service provides excellent support
There weren't too many challenges with the setup. The initial setup is a little bit difficult as it requires skill. A person without the necessary experience or skill cannot handle it. Overall, I'd rate the implementation process seven out of ten. Deployment times vary depending on customer enrollment. If there are more than 100 machines, it might take 45 to 60 days.

Cons
