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.
Nikhilesh Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a good firewall that blocks unwanted ports
In our company's infrastructure, we have not faced any challenges with the product. Considering the lack of issues or challenges faced with the use of the product in our company's environment, I feel that it is a good solution. Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. If Trend Micro Deep Security wants to implement some new features in it, then I would say that it should focus from a networking point of view and see how to control network traffic specifically coming from external to internal traffic on the servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Center Management"
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"The most valuable features include the ability to upgrade and update all users from one console and to install the solution remotely."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides total security, everything in one."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"Kaspersky protects our company from ransomware attacks. We have multiple sites across the country, including the principal headquarters and different towns. We can see any viruses that are in the network and take action."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
 

Cons

"The application updates and drive encryption are lacking."
"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 initial setup is complex."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
"It would be great if, as an additional feature, you could download updates without deploying updates to end users."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
"If I had more reporting, the product would be an A plus."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"What this product lacks at this stage is the ability to have automated workbooks to do the response. At this stage, the response is more manual, and it is not automated. If there is a response functionality in Deep Security, similar to what we have in EDR these days, to automatically respond to some of the threats, it would be cool. So, we'd like to have an automated response. There should be a response functionality."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"AWS products could become more compatible with intrusion detection products leveraging help from Trend Micro."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"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."
"The product is available at a low price."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"For licensing, we pay a yearly subscription."
"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."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
