Provides a user-friendly experience compared to other endpoint security solutions and excellent real-time threat protection but poor customer service and support
I appreciate the user interface (UI/UX). Kaspersky provides a user-friendly experience compared to other endpoint security solutions. Additionally, Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature. Kaspersky provides excellent real-time threat protection. Your main database server is connected to the Kaspersky server, preventing zero-day exploits, advanced threats, and APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats). This protects your confidential data. Importantly, Kaspersky now uses signature-less technology, a crucial feature for combatting modern viruses, malware, and threats that have evolved beyond traditional signature-based detection. Before 2011, endpoint security worked on signature-based detection. Kaspersky is working on signature-less technology, so I really like that.

Has consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.
