Many functions and features, best for medium size business and up
Pros and Cons
  • "We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
  • "There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."

What is our primary use case?

We used the solution to protect as against computer viruses.

How has it helped my organization?

We currently have had to move to another solution because we require faster response times and more advanced features other competitors offer.

What is most valuable?

The functions are very good and they have many different features that are available.

What needs improvement?

This solution needs to improve and get up to date with some of the new EDR technology anti-virus software available. There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If the company is big, more than 100 staff with different branches, this solution is good but for small companies, I think it's not very appropriate.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have used support from Kaspersky China. They offer support through email and phone of which they provide a good service, fast response, and an overall professional resolution.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We now use Symantec End-user Endpoint Security software as our anti-virus protection solution. We opted to change software because of the current security risk our digital data faces, we needed a more robust solution.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was not a problem.

What about the implementation team?

We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients. For others, the deployment could take more time and might require professionals to do the job.

What was our ROI?

It would be a benefit for this solution to have better-advanced features, less maintenance required for operation, and faster response times.

What other advice do I have?

Due to the current increased global security risks on digital data we have had to search for an alternative solution. 

I would have given the solution a ten out of ten a few years ago but they need to improve and provide more features as their competitors.

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

The signature update is done securely, but there are performance issues affecting the server speed
Pros and Cons
  • "The signature update is done securely."
  • "There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need."

What is most valuable?

The signature update is done securely.

What needs improvement?

There are some issues that recently happened with this solution. The American government and other countries banned Kaspersky, since it is a Russian product, and customers lost their confidence in it.

There is too much deviation from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Kaspersky could provide more training for the local support.

For how long have I used the solution?

Three to five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable. I have no complaints when it comes to stability. 

There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is good, but if I want to update any patch or update for 2000 to 3000 machines, it can be difficult sometimes. If it is below 2000 machines, then it is fine.

In our organization, we have 3000 users utilizing the product.

How are customer service and technical support?

The local support that they have here are great, especially for on-premise. If I call them, they can reach us very quickly. The issue is that they aren't always so knowledgeable. Kaspersky didn't provide enough training for them. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward, not so complex. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing and licensing is competitive. It's not so different from its competitors. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

At the moment, we don't have any alternatives that we are considering.

What other advice do I have?

Think about the performance issues first. If I have a very good solution, but it slows down your server performance, then the productivity of your place will go down. The performance issues should be considered. Scalability should also be considered, then security issues. 

We are not happy with this solution and want it to change.
