Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Reviews

It helps me with the security policies that I make. I can change policies quickly and easily.

Also, it stopped ransomware that other vendors could not catch.

The valuable features are the antivirus, the firewall, the network blocker, and application and device control.

I would like to see improvements in the device control features, which are limited.

I can block devices by the policy in the device control such as usb and cd but i can block devices like sound that not supported by Kaspersky
I would see update in the device control policy that let me add devices by its id
To control them by block or allow it
That will help the administrator for full control and will rate the kaspersky to be the number one in the field

I have been using this solution since 2012.

There were no stability issues.

Customer Service:

Customer service is excellent.

Technical Support:

I used technical support through a vendor and they were perfect.

I previously used Symantec Endpoint. I switched because it's weak against ransomware attacks and against email attachments containing viruses and Trojan horses.

The initial setup was easy and I had no problem with it.

Pricing and licensing is good.

I evaluated other options like McAfee, Sophos, Symantec Endpoint, and FortiClient, but they weren’t good enough for me.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides a full suite of endpoint security features in one easy-to-manage application. With this product deployed, administrators can ensure endpoints are protected from malware, as well as perform a host of functions, such as patch and systems management, encryption of both files and whole disks, and application control. Furthermore, this tool features mobile device management and security capabilities. All this functionality can be driven from a single management console that is well integrated with the existing enterprise infrastructure.

Kaspersky is the best antivirus software to this day, always was, always will (i hope so). It offers a great protection against viruses and spywares

Kaspersky Endpoint Security offers a powerful and robust system for securing systems in a business environment. Its scanning and detection engine handles most threats easily and is well developed to deal with new threats that continually come down the pipeline. The program is also easy to use as an end user. its encryption system does a very good job of securing sensitive files without a performance hit on most systems. Endpoint also has great administrative tools for setting up the program and for ongoing maintenance purposes. As an added plus, the program also works with other non-Windows systems which can be highly valuable in a mixed system OS environment.

I primarily offer it to clients for their business. 

Kaspersky has four different kinds of products for endpoint security, and EDR is a mixture of all of those four products. On top of that, they have an artificial intelligence feature in it, and a machine-learning feature in it, as a new feature.

Kaspersky is pretty strong as a product in general.

The performance is very good. The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now. 

The solution has very useful machine learning features. 

The product is stable.

The scalability is very good. 

It is a heavy solution and it's not for small networks.

The solution is pretty expensive. 

The installation is technical. You need to be certified. 

We've used the solution for a long time. I've used it for 13 years now. It's been over a decade at this point. 

I have found the product to be stable. I haven't had issues with it crashing or freezing. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance has been great. 

The product can scale as needed. It's not a problem.

I'd rate the capability to scale at an eight out of ten in general. 

We have 30 or 40  customers who are using the product right now. 

The tech support is pretty good. They are knowledgeable and responsive. 

I deal with a few different solutions. So as far as Kaspersky is concerned, it is on the top of the list right now. I would say Kaspersky, Trend Micro, and Carbon Black, these three, are the very top. Technology-wise and performance-wise, they are very good.

The initial setup requires a certified Kaspersky technical person. It's not an installation just anyone in IT can pull off. It's not like some solutions where you just do a few clicks and you are up and running. It's an involved process. You need a strong knowledge base. 

You need at least two technical people (engineers) for deployment and maintenance. 

It's costly and heavy. Price-wise, it's expensive. 

In order to use the EDR, you must have a very strong server as well. So that's where you have to add the cost for the server machines, and that's where you implement the EDR as well. While the EDR itself is probably not that expensive, altogether, with the servers needed, it becomes a costly solution.

Users need to pay a yearly licensing fee.

We are resellers. 

The solution has both on-premises and cloud deployment options. Many clients are moving towards the cloud as a deployment preference. 

I would definitely recommend EDR to any networks that have over 300 users.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

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.

We provide the solution for endpoint protection.

We provide the tool based on the client’s requirements. The product improves data protection and network security. The solution’s threat detection and response capability is powerful. Our customers like it. The experience with the management console is good. We have integrated the product with existing solutions and new infrastructures. The implementation and integration are easy.

The support must provide quick responses.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The support is not responsive.

Neutral

The tool is too expensive compared to other products. The licensing model is good.

I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

We are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security. There are two products: 

1. Kaspersky Skill Center (supply management)
2. Kaspersky Endpoint Security

We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for manual production and supply production. We also use it for additional control in manufacturing.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security did help us a little but there were still some problems. For example, we had problems in processing payment issues from the gateway country. 

Overall, we implemented Kaspersky Endpoint Security because it enabled us to reduce costs.

The manual production is what drew us to Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control.

They should include some BMP features, like a BD board or MP board and some D&B company in the near future. That would be good.

The product is very stable and we haven't faced any issues as of now.

The scalability of Kaspersky Endpoint Security is very simple and easy. You don't need to buy a separate server or hardware. It can easily be configured. 

Right now we have more than 4,500 users. Two staff members are required to maintain the solution.

Technical support with Kaspersky is really good. The response from customer support is on time. We have a Kaspersky support license, so our response time is almost two hours. 

Usually, with Kaspersky customer support, we will have a solution within two hours.

We have seven countries under us. Some of the countries were using McAfee and some of the countries were using Symantec.

The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment took only two machines and was completed in less than a month.

We used an integrator company and the experience was very good.

For ROI, we are working on some issues. Kaspersky has helped a lot. We get feeds from all over the world. We have to log these and find integrity checks in our industry. 

This is also some regulatory requirement. In the end, it's also helped us plan our contribution as well. For our part, Kaspersky Endpoint Security has helped us a lot.

Our license for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is on a yearly basis. We have a yearly subscription. They have multiple options available at no additional costs.

The remote management and new client process, plus the support, led us to Kaspersky. We are very satisfied with Kaspersky products.

In the latest tests, there were some issues there. We had decided to go with Kasperksy, but we reevaluated McAfee, Symantec, and other solutions. In the end, we chose Kasperksy.

The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution. 

Everything can be done with Kaspersky Endpoint Security. The good thing is that the epicenter of support staff doesn't have to go climbing through the issues. 

They make it very easy for us to manage solutions. I would rate it 8.5 out of 10.

My primary use case of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is for security, such as anti-virus and patch deployment.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has helped my organization by guaranteeing the security of all computers in our environment.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use.

I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business for approximately one year.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a stable solution.

We have approximately 25 people using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business in my organization.

I am satisfied with the support for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.

I was previously using Norton. 

The initial setup of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business was complex. The whole process took us two days.

We did the implementation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.

We use one person for the implementation and maintenance of this solution.

I have seen a return on investment from using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business.

The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required.

My advice to others wanting to implement Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is that it's a good solution.

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business a ten out of ten.

We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for user protection. 

This solution is deployed on-premises. 

Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions. 

Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth.  

We have been using this solution for more than five years. 

This product is stable. 

Our team has done some automating and set up auto-maintenance. 

This solution is scalable. 

There are more than 1,000 users of this Kaspersky solution in our organization. We have plans to increase our usage. 

We have never contacted technical support. 

I don't remember exactly, but I think the installation probably took a maximum of three hours for my engineers, maybe less. You can do it yourself. We had a team of four engineers to handle the deployment. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees. 

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security a ten out of ten. We have been using Kaspersky since the beginning, and I would definitely recommend it to others who are considering implementation. As I mentioned, I think it's one of the best solutions. Everything is there—the database, information, support—and we're happy that we're using this. 

We primarily use the solution for version and device control. That's why we have moved to Kaspersky. It's meant to be assisting us with device and control issues.

The solution is light. It's is easy on the client-side, and even on the server. It doesn't take much processing power. There's no bottleneck of the applications.

We have the ability to restrict users and third-party VPNs. We have control over the user and application access and have put in place policy-based safeguards also.

The solution has been quite stable.

The scalability is good. 

We have found the initial setup to be rather straightforward. 

We found that, for some reason, some site URLs were being blocked in Kaspersky. However, we have since found a solution. As it stands now, the URL opening issue has been resolved on our end.

The solution could be more secure. 

We have been using Kaspersky for almost two years.

The stability is good. The performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability of the product has been good overall. If you need to expand it, you can.

In head office, we are using the product on the client end for about 100 plus people. On the server end, we use it as well for about 60.

We've never contacted technical support as we have not found any complexity regarding the product. It's a product that is easy to deploy and control. 

We are also using Symantec. While we have been using Kaspersky for about two years, we've used Symantec for around eight to ten years.

We also leverage a Cisco-based firewall to increase security.

The installation is very straightforward and simple. It's not difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

We have two personnel that handle deployment and maintenance. One is currently managing it, and the other is managing the client end.

We have a yearly license with Kaspersky currently. It has already gotten renewed after its first expiry. We will renew it. When we renew it, we tend to make sure it's also as up-to-date as possible. 

We have the latest version of the solution installed currently.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We are quite happy with its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
