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.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is quite scalable."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"It has helped our company protect the confidential data of our customers."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the daily updates and protection from virus attacks."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"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."
 

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."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"The admin console must be a little bit easier."
"The threat intelligence features are not up to date."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"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."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
