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 solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"Kaspersky is an excellent choice for enterprise security. It supports Windows 10 and earlier versions like Windows 7, ensuring compatibility across various Windows operating systems used by our organization."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's quite secure. I'm satisfied with this solution."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The security is very good, compared to some other products."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"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 feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Speed"
 

Cons

"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"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."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"Pricing is very competitive and licensing is very much ethical."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business' pricing is reasonable, and licensing costs are annual."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"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."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"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 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."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
