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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is stable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"The reporting feature is good. Also, the device control is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"The tool's interface is good."
"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."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
"The deployment could be better."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"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."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"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 tool is expensive."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"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."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
