Information security engineer at PricewaterhouseCoopers
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.
Abhimanyu Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Associate at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.
