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.

Easy to deploy, good price, low overhead, and keeps our Servers and PC's free of virus'
Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time. Although It requires more system resources than the desktop client, adding additional resources' ex. CPU and Memory don't seem to improve it. Its reporting can also be improved as the executive and patching reports are missing the ability to provide what groups of PC's are included in the reports. Also, It's great they patch some third-party software, but it is a limited list expanding this would be a huge improvement. I'm yet to see it properly handle USB Device control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"It provides good security."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."
"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."
 

Cons

"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The performance is not very good."
"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."
"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
