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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaspersky is an excellent choice for enterprise security. It supports Windows 10 and earlier versions like Windows 7, ensuring compatibility across various Windows operating systems used by our organization."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"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 malware threat detection has been excellent overall."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"It offers very good security protection."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Speed"
 

Cons

"The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
"The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky."
"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"It is relatively cheap."
