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.

Pros

"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business's most valuable feature is the ease of management."
"Endpoint Security's most valuable feature is its heuristic analysis. This heuristic approach means that it learns from its past experiences. It is the most valuable feature they have. This contributes to dealing with ransomware, detection, and early mitigation actions."
"It is an effective solution. It provides a wide range of security and defense features."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface."

"It is a stable solution."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."

"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The technical support services are good."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
 

Cons

"The product offers support only through mail and not on the phone."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"The solution could improve by having some integration with other vendors."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"Notifications are lacking."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly annual subscription for this product."
"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."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"I don't remember exactly what the licenses cost, but it's not too expensive. It's affordable, especially when you are dealing with on-prem. However, I don't know about the new prices because we are in the process of buying support."
"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 price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"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."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"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."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"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."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
