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 solution is efficient."
"I respect the solution for its pricing."
"I installed Kaspersky for protection if there is a virus on my computer"
"Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
"It automatically identifies potential threats in emails, websites, and documents, swiftly blocking or quarantining anything harmful to prevent any damage or infection to my system."
"Kaspersky Total Security provides a good return on investment by improving data security and reducing costs by sixty percent with its robust security features."
"Kaspersky Total Security is a stable solution...Kaspersky Total Security is a scalable solution."
"It has advanced features for detecting malware and ensuring customer safety."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"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."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Speed"
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
 

Cons

"The authorization process could be faster."
"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."
"Kaspersky Total Security's configuration part is complex."
"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."
"The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."
"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."
"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"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."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is good."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Kaspersky Total Security is a cheap solution."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and better than that of Sophos."
"Kaspersky Total Security is not an expensive solution."
"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."
"There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis."
"We pay around $30 to $35 for the solution yearly."
"It is relatively cheap."
"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."
"The pricing is high."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
