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

"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"It offers very good security protection."
"Ability to specify the level of protection on devices,"
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"It's easy to use."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
 

Cons

"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"I would like to see machine learning and AI as added features."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"They can improve the zero-day exploit to be more effective."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"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."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"It is quite standard, because we use the volume licensing."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"Work on a price tier plan."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
