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's easy to use."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very good and reliable product."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The solution is user-friendly and the dashboard is good."
"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."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"Low performance requirements."
"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."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"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."
 

Cons

"The training provided by the vendor to resellers and end users needs to be improved"
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"When I do a malware scan on my computer it takes a long while. This process could improve in the future. Additionally, the security could improve."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"The solution could provide more integration."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"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 licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year."
"I prefer paying for a yearly license because it has some discounts. One of the companies I work for pays for the Business Select license, for 100 users."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"The product is available at a low price."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"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."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The pricing is high."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"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."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
