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

"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"The interface is friendly."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"The initial setup was fairly simple, taking only a few minutes."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"It's flexible, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security's performance is good. Also, the pricing is fine."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"Low performance requirements."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Speed"
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"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."
 

Cons

"The performance is not very good."
"They're restricted to endpoint protection for now, I'd like to see some additional products."
"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."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
