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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
"It has advanced features for detecting malware and ensuring customer safety."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"Kaspersky Total Security is a light agent."
"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."

"Auto-Remediation"
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution’s security could be improved."
"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."
"Enhancing the encryption code, particularly in relation to ransomware would be a great addition for future use."
"Anti-malware and anti-phishing policies in the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."
"It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."
"The stability of the solution could be improved because we had some issues with the solution on non-Windows laptops."
"Its interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
