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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"It's easy to use."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
 

Cons

"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"The support must provide quick responses."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"The performance level could be better."
"The GUI of the product is too basic, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
"We would like to see improved performance and faster deployment in the next release."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a little more expensive compared to other competitors like Symantec."
"The product is available at a low price."
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"There is a license required for this solution and we have 1,800 licenses. The cost is a bit high and we are looking for an alternative."

"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The pricing is high."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"It is relatively cheap."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
