Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Reviews

I use the solution in my company for endpoints and for anti-malware purposes. I use the solution for the endpoints in our infrastructure, so it allows me to block USBs or any other incoming connections from unknown sources.

The tool is easy to use for me, especially if it is the on-premises version. The product is easy to install. The best thing about the solution stems from the fact that it is available at a very low price with a lot of features that can be modified to meet the users' requirements. The policies of the product are easy to use.

The product is hard to use on a cloud server. From an improvement perspective, the use of the product on a cloud server should be made better. The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for five to six years. I don't remember the version of the solution. My company has a partnership with Kaspersky.

The major problem I have with the product stems from the fact that it needs more RAM space. My company has to make more RAM space.

Around 2,000 people in my company use the product.

I am very happy with the solution's technical support team.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

Users must install MySQL first, after which they can install Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, after which they can use a package installer from another client that automatically connects the tool on the server, making it an easy process.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in an hour or two.

The product is available at a low price.

The integration of the tool with our company's existing IT infrastructure is good and helpful.

In my company, we have choices. If I want to use a cloud-based tool for endpoint security, we use Sophos. If I want an on-premises endpoint security product, I prefer Kaspersky.

If you want cheap endpoint security, especially on an on-premises server, I highly recommend Kaspersky since it is easy to use, install, and available at a low price.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

Use cases really depend on how you configure it. It's an endpoint security solution that goes beyond anti-malware and anti-spam. It also includes network protection, vulnerability audits, and other features you might need.

First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me. Another thing I value is the alarm support with EDR active. It helps me root cause issues and detect suspicious behavior.

Most companies aren't familiar with Kaspersky's MDR offering. Everyone's talking about XDR and MDR solutions now, and Kaspersky mainly offers EDR. I believe they should consider more advanced solutions, especially for ransomware protection and similar critical threats. They might have these solutions, but our provider might not be giving us proper insights. Again, it's possible these features exist, but our reseller isn't making us aware. 

In future releases, I would like to see a few things. First, I'd like a centralized view for managing security across a large organization with multiple offices. 

Second, some built-in solutions can alert IT about suspicious behavior before any damage occurs, like applications sending unusual emails or data alerts.

I want to add that performance needs to be considered. Security doesn't require ongoing configuration. My crucial point is whether the solution, with my configuration from six months ago, still provides adequate security. In terms of support,  I was thinking of a managed security service provider because security isn't our primary business, and we lack the necessary skills to manage it ourselves. We rely on others to do it.

We lack the skills and need a third-party provider with expertise. So, we have a third party that can provide managed security services and keep me updated on the latest products and practices. I just need to be confident we're using the best available solution.

I have been using this solution for more than five years now. I've experience with this product but with an advanced license.

It is a stable solution. But there are better solutions, or perhaps upgrades might be better.

It is a highly scalable solution. We are an enterprise business, so we have around a thousand end users. 

I receive support from our reseller at Kaspersky.

Neutral

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a seven out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

The deployment process needs an expert, so it takes hours to configure all the features properly. It's not a quick process.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten because, again, I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing.

We use the solution as an antivirus product. 

The solution is an effective protection tool with easy management. The suite has numerous features that, if purchased separately, would cost us significantly.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a strong yet lightweight tool. It allows us to control machines even when disconnected from the network. In offline mode, we can generate passwords and access the system. The policies it offers are robust.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates. 

I have been working with the product for six years. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is stable. 

We have 9000 endpoints. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' support is good. 

Positive

The tool's deployment was straightforward with the help of Kaspersky. It takes one week to complete. 

We have seen ROI with the product. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual. 

I rate the tool a nine out of ten. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used to protect from and respond to anything tentatively identified as a virus and ransomware.

Kaspersky protects our company from ransomware attacks. We have multiple sites across the country, including the principal headquarters and different towns. We can see any viruses that are in the network and take action.

I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear. 

I've been using Endpoint Security for about two years.

Kaspersky is generally stable, but I run into problems when I schedule one hour of EDR on my network. The different machines on my network slowed down, so I reduced the scheduled EDR to one or two hours per day. After that, my PC was very fast.

I believe Kaspersky Endpoint Security is scalable. We currently have 600 users. We could possibly increase our usage if the number of users increases.

Kaspersky's support is good. We haven't had any problems. When I had difficulties installing Kaspersky, support texted sent us a fix.

Setting up Kaspersky was difficult. It took about three weeks to deploy because I have 600 PCs. I had a hard time installing the old version of Kaspersky on a PC. And there was a delay in connecting Kaspersky to the new server. We have a team of 10 IT people responsible for managing the solution.

We had help from a reseller. The reseller helped a lot because my PC environment was old, so it was challenging to implement.

The cost of a Kaspersky enterprise license comes out to about $18,000 annually.

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security eight out of 10. My advice to new Kaspersky users is to have a good PC and a solid network infrastructure. Also, when you have any issues, it's essential to resolve them quickly. I recommend Endpoint Security because it has been good to me. It automatically responds to viruses or ransomware activities, so I don't have to do anything. My biggest lesson from using Kaspersky is realizing the importance of antivirus software on our network.

Recently, I have primarily been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for protection against ransomware. I also use this solution for file encryption. 

This solution is deployed on-prem. 

The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one. 

This solution would be improved if it were more compatible with Windows Server. There is not a client for Windows Server, like for Windows Workstation, so there are a lot of things you cannot control from the local system, or from the desktop directly. You have to control everything from the policy server, not from the client's side. The interface is kind of light, and it's not good—it could be more user-friendly. 

I have been using this solution for three years. 

This solution is a bit stable. The performance is okay, I'm satisfied with it. 

This solution is scalable. 

There are over 100 end users of Kaspersky Endpoint Security in our organization. We have plans to increase usage and buy more licenses because we have some more people. 

I have contacted technical support once before. I asked them for something, and they helped me. I don't think we have asked for help since then. 

Before implementing Kaspersky, we used Symantec. I've found that Kaspersky is better. 

The installation is straightforward. Sometimes it takes five to ten minutes, but it depends on the person. If the person is knowledgeable, it could take two or three minutes, but if not, it takes time. 

For deployment and maintenance, we have the system admin and a team of two. 

We implemented this solution ourselves. 

For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription. 

I rate Kaspersky a nine out of ten, and I would recommend this solution to others. 

We're using Kaspersky for antivirus protection and endpoint protection.

We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too.

I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning. They need to take advantage of new technology to revamp their scanning. Kaspersky could add more interactive features to their interface because it has been the same for six years. 

We've been using Endpoint Security for almost six years.

Kaspersky is stable.

Kaspersky is scalable. 

If we create a ticket today, they'll usually reply by the next morning. They have the option to get faster support, where they'll call within half an hour and collect information, but we didn't opt for that. 

Setting up Endpoint Security is easy. 

The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more.

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security eight out of 10. 

Our primary use case is for protecting our desktops and critical servers. This solution is deployed on-premises. 

One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection. 

This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure. 

We have been using this solution for six to seven years. 

Our organization has approximately 500 users of this solution. 

We have local support that we contact in case of any issues. If local support is unable to resolve it, then we connect the issue to Kaspersky. 

We haven't used any other solutions. We have used Kaspersky from the beginning. 

The installation was easy, all you need to do is install it with the installer. The configuration is a bit tricky, though. You can do it yourself if you are knowledgeable in this area, but if not, you may need help from the vendor. We had a team of three or four who handled deployment, in addition to the support we received from the vendor. 

Installation time will depend on the organization since each organization will have different things to configure. It should take somewhere between half an hour to an hour to configure, but it depends on the size of the organization. 

We implemented through an in-house team, but had vendor support. 

We pay for licensing annually. 

We also evaluated Rapid7's AppSpider product, which is an application vulnerability scanning solution. We had done the POC, but we had issues with the licensing model, so we dropped it. 

I rate Kaspersky an eight out of ten. I would 100% recommend Kaspersky to others who are considering implementation. 

Our primary use case is protection against spyware. We are partners with Kaspersky. 

The solution is easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate. For the SMB segment, it's an optimal solution that is pocket-friendly, and easy to manage. They have a new training portal which is good. 

There were some issues with reporting which seem to have been resolved. I'd like to see them go to the next level by adding more products because they're restricted to endpoint protection for now.  

I've been using this solution for one year. I'm a company director. 

This solution is stable. 

To date, we've deployed to around 2,000 users without any issues - I can't comment on numbers above that.

I haven't needed to contact technical support. 

Kaspersky pricing is reasonable. If you compare it to other top brands such as Symantec and McAfee, Kaspersky costs 30-40% less.

I have also worked with Checkpoint Harmony which is good if you're in the enterprise segment. It gives a complete overview of what is happening in your organization, providing detailed information.

I recommend this solution and think that Kaspersky Antivirus is the best antivirus for SMBs. No doubt about it. That said, I do think the quality of service and ease of use is relatively comparable with any of the other top brands. 

I rate this product 10 out of 10.
