Kaspersky Next XDR Optimum Reviews

We primarily use the solution for security and protection. We use the product to scan our machines and arrest any viruses it comes across in its search. We also use it for notifications. It will alert us to any issues with the system.

The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product.

I've found the product to be scalable.

The solution is very, very stable. I haven't had any reliability issues so far.

The solution is fairly easy to install and update online.

When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. it's been a while. It's not new to me.

I can confirm that the solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is reliable.

The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand the product, it can do so quite easily.

We have more than 4,000 users across our entire organization that utilize the solution.

We have a lot of Kaspersky licenses and therefore will likely continue to use them going forward.

I've never been in touch with technical support. Therefore, I can't speak to how knowledgeable or supportive they actually are if there are issues that arise.

We have not used another solution. We've used Kaspersky for over ten years and we've never switched solutions at this company.

When I got the machine it was very easy to install the product. It was not complex. Our IT didn't have any issues. Going forward, it's been updated online. This is also a simple and automatic process.

I'm not sure the exact amount of time it took for our IT admin to deploy the product.

We have 11 engineers on hand to deal with installation and any maintenance requirements. 

Our IT admins handle the installation. Individual employees do not do that. Therefore, I didn't handle the installation myself. However, it was handled in-house, and not by an integrator or consultant.

As an end-user, I am not aware of the costs of the licensing policies. I'm not on the commercial negotiation side of the licenses. There is someone else in the company that handles those details.

We are customers and end-users.

I'm not sure of the version. This is handled centrally by the organization. I don't deal with that aspect of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to other companies.

I'd give it a rate of nine out of ten.

I've used Kaspersky as an integrator, for internet security. It can be used for malware and email security as well as for situations where you are handling online transactions. 

The solution is very stable.

So far, we've found the solution to be scalable.

The online privacy they provide users when they're doing online transactions has been great.

The malware threat detection has been excellent overall. 

We didn't have any trouble with the initial installation. The process was straightforward.

The interface is very user-friendly.

The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point.

The solution is stable and reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. Its performance has been good overall.

The solution has been very scalable. If a company wants to expand the solution, it can do so with relative ease. It's not a problem.

We have eight people currently using the solution at this time.

We do plan to continue to use ht product going forward.

I don't have any experience with technical support. I don't recall ever using them. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

I've used ESET in the past, however, the product was making our machines run slow. That is the reason we ultimately switched to Kaspersky.

The initial setup process was not complex at all. It was very straightforward. We found it to be simple.

The deployment itself was very fast and likely took less than a minute or so.

We needed about four people to handle the implementation process.

I handled the implementation by myself. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

We're using the latest version of the solution at this time.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall.

I would recommend the solution to other organizations. We've been largely quite happy with this product.

We primarily use the solution as an antivirus for endpoint security.

It can be used to protect against malware and as security for online browsing - for example, when you want to do online transactions, it can secure the process. 

The solution has been quite stable. The performance is good.

The solution scales well.

The online privacy it allows for when you are doing online transactions is very helpful.

The malware threat detection has been quite good so far.

The user interface is very nice.

They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust.

I've used the solution for a couple of years now. It's been a while.

The solution is quite stable. It doesn't crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's pretty reliable.

A company can scale the solution if it needs to. The product can scale quite well. It's not a problem.

Everyone in our company is using the solution. There are about eight of us on it currently.

We've never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how knowledgeable or responsive they are. I can't really rate their level of service.

I've used ESET in the past. It was slowing down the machines, which is why we stopped using it and switched to this product.

The installation is quite straightforward. It's not overly complex.

The deployment is very fast and may have taken under a minute or so.

We had four people that handled the implementation.

I handled the installation myself. I did not require the assistance of a consultant or integrator.

We pay a licensing fee on a yearly basis.

I didn't evaluate other options before choosing this product.

We are using the latest version of the solution right now. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall. We've been quite happy with the capabilities of the product in general.

I would recommend the solution to other organizations.

We are mounting the solution on a secured managed service center, where we are implementing it in order to have the EDR.

I find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service.

I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server.

I used CrowdStrike solution before and the price was very high. 

I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike. 

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security a six out of ten. 

The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data.

I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved.

I've been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security since 2018.

We currently have 150 users but have not tried to expand yet.

Customer service/technical support staff have been responsive. They look for documentation and listen to you as you describe what happened.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented it in-house, and the deployment took several days.

We have been using a yearly subscription and feel that pricing could be better. Perhaps, discounts could be given, during the renewal process, to those who have been customers for some time.

Our clients use it for protecting their endpoints.

Our clients are using the advanced options, and they're quite comfortable with this solution because they didn't have any problems. 

It was easy to integrate it with Active Directory. It is fast and easy to use. It has all the required features.

Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward.

I have been using this solution for two months.

It is stable. We didn't have any problems.

We have been implementing it in small companies, and it has been working fine.

I haven't spoken to technical support because our implementation went well.

Our clients were using other antivirus solutions, and they moved to this solution. We will be doing POCs for some clients who already have a similar solution. It is not easy to move to a new solution.

It was a simple process. The installation and the updates afterward went smoothly. The initial setup was quite fast. It took 15 to 20 minutes, which also included updates. 

We provide maintenance services to our clients and check whether the updates are happening.

Its price is on par with other products. It might even be slightly cheaper. There are no additional costs.

I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection along with catering to Office 365, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, or Exchange - along with Windows update services.

The solution has definitely improved how our organization functions.

The solution, for what it does overall, is a very attractive solution.

The price per endpoint is excellent.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's pretty easy.

The solution has been very stable for us. We haven't had any issues with performance.

The scalability is there if a company needs to expand.

The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak. It needs to be improved upon. They could do a better job of making it more robust.

There's always room for improvement in everything, however, I can't think of a specific feature that is missing or lacking.

I've been using the solution for well over a year at this point. 

The product has been extremely stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance has been good.

The scalability has been good so far. I haven't run into any issues as far as scaling goes. That said, we aren't an enterprise. I've had it as high as 300 clients.

For us, we probably have about a hundred users and I'd say a large majority of those are production floor people. The rest (25 to 30) are front office staff.

I've never used technical support before. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. It's just not something I've dealt with.

We used to have Cisco AMP. We switched over to Kaspersky.

The reason we switched was really related to a price point and wanting to push out Windows updates, kind of more than device management type functionality.

We've found the initial setup to be pretty simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex. A company shouldn't have any problem with the implementation process.

The cost structure is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive, which is part of the draw of the solution.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the version number.

In general, we've been quite happy with the solution overall. I would rate it at a seven out of ten.

The primary use case was for endpoint security. 

As much as the solution is an endpoint product, it provided good security. When you logged in, you could actually see all the things that were happening on your endpoint and that was a benefit. 

 I had issues with the cloud management of this solution. 

I used this solution for about a year and recently switched to a different solution. 

The solution was stable but it crashed the application sometimes. As much as it's an endpoint security, I think it should be intelligent enough to know which applications are secure and which are not. 

We were using this solution but we recently switched to Sophos. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It took a few minutes, but the solution is complex to manage because as much as it was cloud-based, the machines in our environment meant that when you wanted to uninstall or remove an appliance from the portal, it was a bit hectic. The portal would say it's been removed but your machine didn't agree with that. We had about 50 users of the product and one engineer dealing with maintenance. 

I think the solution is suitable for a mid-size organization but not for enterprise size companies that need endpoint security.

I rate Kaspersky a seven out of 10. 

I use Kaspersky like an end-user, I just want security, but I don't use all the features. I only use it for protection, like when someone puts a pen drive inside my PC and to block some websites and content.

I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy. 

Like most of the virus scanning products, it can be better. It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released.

I've been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for more than two years.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is a stable product.

The initial setup is easy. It takes about an hour to install and deploy this solution.

I installed it by myself. 

It's an affordable security solution.

I would recommend this product to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight.

Our primary use case for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is to protect our endpoint machines and ideally we are also looking at protecting our server. However, I had challenges deploying it to the servers. It was making them really slow.

The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly. 

Additionally, scheduled tasks like scanning and safe rules, taking rules and grouping the different machines, being able to pick updates automatically and deploy them remotely are generally very easy, though we've had some challenges.

There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues.

The second area for improvement had to do with machines at one point being unable to communicate with the Central Server or the Heartbeat.

Another issue is related to installations. There is a feature for remotely deploying the solution on your endpoint machines, but some machines can fail. There was a particular incident where I needed to reinstall the solution again and it wasn't uninstalling. So the uninstallation process was a bit challenging. I had to install the machine again manually. They were Windows machines so I had to go and restore the machine again. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it on some machines can be a bit challenging.

Additionally, the way it handles threats is an area for improvement. Suppose there is a particular threat that has been detected, maybe someone inserted their flash drive or something. It does not give me an option to configure. I don't know if I was doing it right so that the threat is neutralized without me having to log on to the Administration Console. Then you go to Active Threats and manually delete that threat. I thought it would be intelligent enough. For instance, if I compare it to the Defend, if the flash drive has a virus it'll delete it automatically or quarantine it and give me a notification. Here, I don't get notifications. There is no feature providing me with real time notifications. I have to manually go to the Administration Console, log on and try to view if there are active threats on the network. 

There is also the issue of synchronization with the Active Directory particularly if I'm using the Linux server. Sometimes you have a machine you have deleted from the Active Directory or disconnected from the network but that machine is still appearing in the Administration Console and you have to delete it manually. These are some of the challenges we meet with Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

In terms of what I would like to see in the next release, I would like it to be a bit lighter. I've used a couple of other solutions and I find them lighter to use than Kaspersky. Kaspersky really has to improve on that aspect of making sure that it's not consuming a lot of resources.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the last five years.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is scalable.

Normally, we don't contact tech support directly. We rely on the partner here who supplies the solution.

Our license is a paid license which we pay annually. Every year we have been renewing the licenses.

I don't have any issues with the price. I think the pricing is fair.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint for Business Advanced. We are making a switch over to Sophos Intercept Advanced.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight.
