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.

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 feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"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 main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"The stability has been good."
"We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support."
"One valuable feature is full disk encryption."
"Very good interface."
"Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."
"If a laptop is stolen, no one can steal the data since it is fully protected."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"The encryption is very good."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"The solution could provide more integration."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"There are scalability limitations. I'd rate scalability five out of ten."
"We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software."
"If Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption comes up with a SaaS solution, it will be better rather than just having an on-premises solution."
"Support from them was not fast."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
