Featured Reviews

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.
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

"Installation and deployment through the Kaspersky Security Center is straightforward and efficient, taking minimal time to complete."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"We swtiched to Kaspersky Endpoint Security because we found our previous solution did not meet our requirements."
"This product is easy to use."
"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"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 most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
 

Cons

"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
"When I do a malware scan on my computer it takes a long while. This process could improve in the future. Additionally, the security could improve."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"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."
"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."
"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."
"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."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"The product is available at a low price."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
"The price is comparable."
"The product has average pricing."
"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."
