Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The failure rate is very low."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"It is an effective solution. It provides a wide range of security and defense features."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"I like the solution's ability to detect potentially unwanted programs. For some reason, it seems superior to other solutions, or at least in comparison to McAfee."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The technical support services are good."
 

Cons

"There were issues with the cloud management."
"The performance of our machines tended to slow down under Kaspersky. That definitely needs to be addressed. I remember I had a pretty good Dell Notebook, and this product slowed it down quite a bit."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"The licensing is fine, and it is well within reasonable rates."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"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."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"It is expensive."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
