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.
Mark Feldman - PeerSpot reviewer
Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly
WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The reporting feature is good. Also, the device control is good."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"It offers very good security protection."
"The product is quite scalable."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"Antivirus, including anti-spam, trojan, and worm detection and prevention. Kaspersky has a comprehensive virus definition update which is very helpful for threat prevention."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
 

Cons

"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."
"The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"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."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"The product has average pricing."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
