Kaspersky Next XDR Optimum Reviews

I have good experience in the sales part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, not the technical side. I am not a technical person who installed Kaspersky or worked with it technically, but I sell Kaspersky solutions here in Jordan.

I have been dealing with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for more than 15 years.

I think all the features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are beneficial because it offers unified endpoint management with security features. This is the differentiator between it and other solutions. The unified endpoint management and the capabilities that are added to the antivirus and anti-malware are what differentiate this solution from others.

I usually recommend Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for all organizations, both small and enterprise.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business does not have encryption tools. It uses the Windows BitLocker tool, which is management only for that.

I have been dealing with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for more than 15 years.

I would assess the effectiveness of Kaspersky advanced threat defense measures as very powerful.

I do not have the technical capabilities to check the features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business in detail, but I do not have any concerns regarding the product.

I think Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is affordable and competitive compared to other vendors.

I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business overall as a 10 out of 10.

I used the solution for signature-based detection, machine learning, threat detection, behavior-based detection, and for the endpoint.

The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics. The solution's reporting capabilities are good. I can generate and schedule custom reports from it. It's helpful and gives us a high, medium, and low-risk-based approach.

Some threats were able to bypass the solution's detection.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for four years.

I haven’t faced any stability issues with this solution.

The solution’s technical support is okay.

Positive

I have worked with other tools, but I like Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business because it gives full endpoint control, including detection, vulnerability management, and file integrity.

The solution fulfilled our needs for the endpoints, including enhanced security and detection for the endpoints.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our company sells solutions to other organizations, including government and private organizations. We cater Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business to enterprise and mid-scale organizations. Our company provides different types of cybersecurity solutions, including antiviruses, firewalls, anti-spam software, and others. 

Implementing Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business in a company enhances cybersecurity much better than other competitor solutions. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions. For instance, the solutions' anti-phishing feature improves a company's complete security. The solution also provides security in emails, spam, phishing and in many other forms. 

The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved. 

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for nearly five years. 

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is scalable for numerous organizations and for multiple reasons. For example, the solution can be easily deployed across 10 to 100 endpoints and easily expanded to 200 to 300 endpoints. The solution can be deployed on the cloud as well as on-premises. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The unsatisfactory training, when enhanced, will improve the scalability utilization across users. 

I would rate the technical support a seven out of ten. The response time needs to be improved by the support team, but the quality is satisfactory. 

Neutral

I would rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. The setup process is slightly difficult for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. The time to deploy depends on the number of endpoints, where each endpoint can be configured in five to ten minutes. 

A stable internet connection and an active license must be ensured before deploying Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. 

The solution is available at a highly affordable price. Competitor solutions, such as Cisco's, are more expensive than Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. The licensing cost of the solution varies from company to company, government organizations can procure the solution at a lower price in comparison to other private institutions such as banks.

Approximately, the license of the product for 100 endpoints will cost $35 for government institutions and $25 for private companies. The standard or basic license of the tool costs about $15 a year. For installation and technical support there are additional charges on top of the standard licensing fees for the product. 

I would advise others to deploy this solution in integration with other tools such as Fortinet and Sophos. I would recommend others to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There are no AI features in the solution at present. I would overall rate the product a nine out of ten. 

I used the solution to manage the server and push the policies that we had on the computer through the network agent. I also used the tool to remediate from the server the vulnerabilities that were detected. If they were more complicated, I would just go to the computer and try to fix them.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product. The only reason why we left it was because of the EDR. It is a useful tool for software deployment. The computer used to connect to the server with the public IP, so it was very useful. When the computer is not connected to the VPN, I can use that computer to do the troubleshooting I need to do.

I can use Kaspersky to easily connect to the computer and push the software with the script I created. In the beginning, we used to deploy the OS on computers. After we implemented the Microsoft MDT, we left the deployment. The functionality is still good, but we have another tool for that.

It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for seven years.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a scalable solution.

I contacted the technical support team only once, and they helped to fix my issue.

Positive

I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive.

I used to open the security console center every day. When I opened the console, I could see all the issues and vulnerabilities with the antivirus or with the software on the workstations. From there, I could fix them myself or go to the computer and directly fix them. The solution was very clear to understand and manage.

I could easily do everything required by the workstation security, even managing the exceptions in the firewall. I could easily find help from the solution's website.

I would recommend the solution to other users because it's a very good product. People generally look for product quality and price. It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses.

The firewall was sometimes difficult to manage. Understanding how exactly it works is a bit complicated, and you have to go through the documentation for that.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration.

We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for four years.

I have heard from my people that the technical support for the solution is not that good.

Neutral

The solution's initial setup for the endpoints is pretty easy, but it's pretty complicated for the central solution. Deploying all the agents is pretty complicated. I rate the solution’s initial setup a five out of ten.

The solution's deployment took a long time. It took three months for the solution's complete deployment. A security engineer, an infrastructure engineer, and five to six technicians were involved in the solution's deployment.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business helps protect our remote workforce. Some of our users connect to the central office via VPN, and all of them are using Kaspersky. We are currently deploying some rules via Kaspersky on the console. It is getting a little harder for me to perform IT security management tasks. Nowadays, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not that good for malware protection.

The solution's application control feature was pretty good at managing software on our network. We were using it constantly, but it's becoming a little challenging. It's pretty difficult to do because you need a very specific engineer and a lot of tweaking of the firewall rules.

Because of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, we are PCI and ISO 27001 compliant. We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky. Five security engineers and technicians were involved in the solution's maintenance.

I would not recommend the solution to other users because some American and European companies don't work with to work with it.

Overall, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

The reliability of Kaspersky Security is evident in its effectiveness in various use cases, including endpoint protection and antivirus functionalities.

Kaspersky supports the security needs of remote workforces by providing solutions tailored for remote usage. These solutions are particularly beneficial for employees outside traditional office environments, as they rely on VPNs to ensure security.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has the potential to enhance our clients' security stance significantly. I believe its comprehensive set of features is highly beneficial and sufficient for our customers' needs.

Deploying global policies is smooth, with no issues encountered in managing security policies.

The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures.

It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous. This would enhance the management capabilities for partitioning additional licenses.

It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint. This would allow us to easily monitor threats originating from client devices and potentially establish remote connections to address issues. Such enhanced cloud functionality would greatly assist in IT management tasks.

I have been working with it for approximately seven years.

I would rate its stability abilities eight out of ten.

I would rate its scalability capabilities nine out of ten. We have around sixty users withing our client base.

Technical support is rated as five out of ten because it lacks local support for immediate assistance. This may lead to longer wait times for responses. However, given the stability of our current Endpoint, this shouldn't pose a significant issue. Improvement in technical support would be beneficial, especially in regions where direct support is unavailable.

Neutral

Prior to adopting Kaspersky, we utilized Sophos antivirus. However, I favor Kaspersky due to its user-friendly interface and minimal resource requirements.

I find the initial setup process for Kaspersky to be quite satisfactory compared to other products. Unlike some other solutions, I didn't encounter any issues with installation or needing to guide the customer through the process.

It can typically be implemented within an hour.

Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

In my company, we use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, just like how we use Sophos Central and Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good.

The GUI mode in the product is an area with certain shortcomings since it looks old with the graphics provided by Kaspersky. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

Once you look at the console from the on-premises version, you can see that the GUI mode is very old, meaning you feel like you are dealing with something vintage in nature. The tool's GUI mode is not updated to a new one. Kaspersky should change settings or parameters and make it easy enough for users to create policies since, presently, some difficulties are encountered when creating the policies. The tool needs to change some components in the console to make the product easy to access and configure the policies.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for two years.

There are no bugs in the product. It is a stable solution.

I know about a company that has around 600 users of the solution where I did the configuration.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises model.

Once my company gets the license, we access the URL, after which we use the URL for configuration, license activation, creating agents, and creating the necessary policies, after which we take care of the setup phase for handing over the product to the customer.

The tool is expensive.

To those who plan to use the solution, I would say that we need a dedicated server to deploy the tool in several places.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We use the software to secure and defend the network from malicious attacks for endpoints.

It is an effective solution. It provides a wide range of security and defense features.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for eight or nine years.

It is a stable product.

We have 50 Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business users in our organization. It is challenging to scale while working with a large number of users.

The technical support team takes time to respond to the queries. However, their documentation on the website is helpful.

Neutral

We encounter issues while deploying the product if it is not installed properly and requires one executive to work on the process. However, it is easy to maintain.

We purchase the software’s yearly license. It includes support and maintenance updates. The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products.

We evaluated a few similar products. We decided to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business as it is more stable, has different defense models, and helps in efficient network supervision.

The product uses a lot of resources for hardware. It is necessary to install and configure the product correctly. I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business a nine out of ten.

We're using it on the endpoint on the user's computer and the servers. We have licenses for workstations and servers. And it's the endpoint security that is the antivirus and the IDS integrated. We also use it to manage some restrictions and web browsing for some users. We allow them to browse some websites and also we restrict some devices and ports.

The firewall is the most valuable feature for us. 

The solution is user-friendly.

It's stable and reliable.

The deployment could be better. Recently when I try to deploy it I received a large number of failures. It is very slow as well.

As an IT analyst, it's easy to use. However, some users don't want to use it as it is more complicated, and due to the firewall, they cannot connect to some websites or other networks. That said, it's still a very good product.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. It's easy to use. It's reliable and there are no bugs or glitches.

The solution doesn't really scale per se. 

We have two IT specialists and are using it directly. The other users are only end users and there are about 600 of them.

I haven't used support much. I only opened one ticket with them. However, I found the solution myself. Nobody even gave me training and I was able to figure it out. 

We are leaving Kaspersky next year. We will work with Microsoft instead. We'll be using Defender. 

We had trouble deploying the solution as we ended up getting many failures, which was not helpful.

Most of the time, it's from the script I wrote myself, and I used to deploy it before in the previous version. We're using Security Center 13 in the version and it was working fine, and we're still using the same application. At the same time, also with version 13 it's very slow and has a large number of failures. Right now, I'm using another tool to deploy the software to the computer to get around issues.

I am able to manage the solution myself. I manage the server. 

The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee. 

We are a customer and end-user. 

I use it both on-premises and in the cloud. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. We've been mostly happy with the product overall. 

Kaspersky is a good product. It helps clients with adequate protection using the latest technologies, such as AI, Azure, and zero-day attack protection.

The number of incidents has been completely reduced. We haven't reported any incidents since we deployed the product. Additionally, on the dashboard, you can easily see all the attempts that have been detected. On the reporting side, it operates smoothly and effectively, ensuring security.

Kaspersky has EDR capabilities and extended EDR features, which help in mitigating legacy issues. Additionally, the robust management tools enable effective vulnerability patching and application deployment. 

It integrates well across different operating systems, including mobile devices like Android and Mac. It effectively manages firewalls, particularly with Fortinet, enhancing overall security posture.

The solution could provide more integration.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business since 2019.

We're looking for a comprehensive solution that integrates multiple services, such as malware protection and firewall capabilities, similar to what the Sophos platform offers. Our technicians have indicated that Sophos provides superior integration and functionality compared to Kaspersky.

The management console is user-friendly. We haven't encountered any problems with it. Our technicians can easily navigate the dashboard and perform any necessary tasks.

Administrators can easily monitor detections and remediations, saving considerable time on the administrator's side. Additionally, when threats are detected, the program promptly reports to the administrator, allowing for immediate action or manual intervention to mitigate potential risks.

Kaspersky does not exclusively focus on network security solutions. Instead, it primarily concentrates on securing endpoints. Adding additional components could enhance its effectiveness in protecting your environment.

Kaspersky primarily focuses on endpoint protection and includes features like application controls, unlike solutions such as Sophos, which integrate seamlessly with EDR and extend to network security. Kaspersky's offering remains focused on endpoint security without the same level of integration into broader network security frameworks.

The solution includes various components that can be tailored to meet specific needs. It provides comprehensive endpoint security, including email security, as a separate module. You can purchase and configure the necessary components without buying unnecessary add-ons like sandboxing separately.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
