User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.
George Tsepelis - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"Overall, the product is quite flexible."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"It has a very good firewall, which lets you isolate your devices depending on the groups."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"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."
 

Cons

"They're restricted to endpoint protection for now, I'd like to see some additional products."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business’s interface could be easier to understand when displaying the activities during configuration processes."
"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."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"Notifications are lacking."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"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."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"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."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"The solution is comparatively priced."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
