A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.

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 most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."
"The solution is efficient."
"I am satisfied with the solution's security features because we have been using it for years."
"It is a stable product."
"Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
"I respect the solution for its pricing."
"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."
"The most effective feature is its scanning. When they scan the viruses, they come back with the records quite fast. They make sure that they rectify."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Low performance requirements."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
 

Cons

"When you get the license number, there isn't a clear section in the program's interface that leads you to renew your license. You have to look and search a lot about it."
"Regarding improvement, Kaspersky has a slightly larger system footprint, leading to a 5-10% performance slowdown compared to when I wasn't using Kaspersky."
"Kaspersky Total Security should be easier to manage and improve user interaction. Resetting often requires some experience, which can be a problem for generic users. Web users also encounter some issues that should be improved."
"There is room for improving security."
"The authorization process could be faster."
"Kaspersky Total Security's configuration part is complex."
"There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."
"Kaspersky has to improve its response when there is an incident. They need to respond faster."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis."
"We have a yearly license, and it's not expensive."
"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Kaspersky Total Security is not an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and better than that of Sophos."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"The pricing is high."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
