"The initial setup is easy."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"I find all of the features valuable."

"It’s really easy to use."
"It's got a very friendly user interface."

"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."

"The security is very good, compared to some other products."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."

"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Detections could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."

"The solution requires skillful users."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."

"The stability could be better."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
