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.
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

"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"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 most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good."
"The solution is secure."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"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)."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"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."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
 

Cons

"The encryption feature could improve."
"It's does not have the architecture or structure to scale up."
"The deployment could be better."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"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."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"The UI, user interface, could be improved."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"The tool is expensive."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"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."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
