Ashford Asante - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
What needs to be improved is what my company sends to Kaspersky's team when we are working with it, and then they work on it, which is why we always have updates to take care of the bugs and all those things. You can't have one thing in the solution that needs to be improved. The solution is affordable. For the solution itself, while you are working with it, you come across stuff, that Kaspersky's network helps you deal with since you can send your stuff to Kaspersky's team, and they have access to certain reports, and based on the reports and what what are we doing, the solution is always worked on, so that it can be made the best and efficient application. On a daily basis, the tool is being improved, and I am okay with it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select is automated. The cloud application for Kaspersky is automated. For the solution needed for individual systems, Kaspersky provides you with a platform that provides internet security. With Kaspersky, you have a platform that allows you to access www.kaspersky.com and see the systems that you have worked on in the past. If you need to do anything with your individual machines indirectly, you can manage it through a centralized system. The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security ( /categories/endpoint-protection-platform-epp ) can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Kaspersky Total Security directly detects if there are any threats on the internet or when I use a USB stick."
"The most beneficial feature of Kaspersky Total Security for me is its all-in-one antivirus solution with continuous signature updates for effective malware detection and prevention."
"The most effective feature is its scanning. When they scan the viruses, they come back with the records quite fast. They make sure that they rectify."
"The solution is efficient."
"I find the solution to be very stable in terms of security and protection of the data."
"The protection has been top-notch, according to our use case and ISP."
"Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"The solution is reliable."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The technical support services are good."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
 

Cons

"Anti-malware and anti-phishing policies in the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution’s email protection area should be improved."
"It would be beneficial if the resource usage could be reduced to lessen the burden on devices."
"The tool could be cheaper."
"There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."
"Its interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s security could be improved."
"The authorization process could be faster."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"The local technical support could be better."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"Kaspersky Total Security is an expensive solution."
"We pay around $30 to $35 for the solution yearly."
"There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis."
"Kaspersky Total Security is a cheap solution."
"Users need to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is good."
"I like this solution due to its cost-free nature"
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"Annual license fee is good"
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
