Good admin capabilities, helpful against zero-day attacks, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "The admin capabilities are great."
  • "The solution could use better reporting."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution as a traditional antivirus for signature-based activities such as malware or infections. It's for employing remediation and prevention detection.

What is most valuable?

The admin capabilities are great.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The product can scale as needed.

What needs improvement?

The solution could use better reporting. We'd like to have a bit more than just a dashboard and a few pie charts. 

We're looking at EDRs, and MDRs, and SLRs and stuff like that. If they had integrations with something like a Dark Trace or more native integrations, either through an open API or something, that would probably be ideal for us in terms of the direction we're taking. 

For how long have I used the solution?

It's an inherited system, so it's been here for more than four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good enough. I haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. I can't recall it crashing or freezing. it's pretty reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution has the capability to scale if you need it to. 

We have about 550 users on the product currently. It's used across most departments, except for a few. 

How was the initial setup?

It was an inherited solution. It was already here when I became employed. Therefore, I can't speak to the implementation process. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

In terms of the versions we are using, on the administration side, it's Admin Security Center 13 and on the endpoint side, for the actual work stations and server, it's 11.6.

I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. Like all endpoint antiviruses, it does a fair job on zero-day attacks. Obviously, with the next-day attacks, it's going to do more. That's where its strengths are.

I would advise new users to stick with the traditional approach of having a business case and a use case and then doing a proof of concept.

It provides high visibility into security risks and automatically addresses threats
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear."

What is our primary use case?

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used to protect from and respond to anything tentatively identified as a virus and ransomware.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What needs improvement?

I've had some problems with the web interface. For example, when I was running a trace, it's difficult to find this function, but I can see it when I go on the server. So, if I want to implement the EDR functions on the web interface, it's very difficult because the command button or the link doesn't appear. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Endpoint Security for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Kaspersky is generally stable, but I run into problems when I schedule one hour of EDR on my network. The different machines on my network slowed down, so I reduced the scheduled EDR to one or two hours per day. After that, my PC was very fast.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I believe Kaspersky Endpoint Security is scalable. We currently have 600 users. We could possibly increase our usage if the number of users increases.

How are customer service and support?

Kaspersky's support is good. We haven't had any problems. When I had difficulties installing Kaspersky, support texted sent us a fix.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky was difficult. It took about three weeks to deploy because I have 600 PCs. I had a hard time installing the old version of Kaspersky on a PC. And there was a delay in connecting Kaspersky to the new server. We have a team of 10 IT people responsible for managing the solution.

What about the implementation team?

We had help from a reseller. The reseller helped a lot because my PC environment was old, so it was challenging to implement.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost of a Kaspersky enterprise license comes out to about $18,000 annually.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security eight out of 10. My advice to new Kaspersky users is to have a good PC and a solid network infrastructure. Also, when you have any issues, it's essential to resolve them quickly. I recommend Endpoint Security because it has been good to me. It automatically responds to viruses or ransomware activities, so I don't have to do anything. My biggest lesson from using Kaspersky is realizing the importance of antivirus software on our network.

It's reliable and secure, but the monitoring and notifications could be more detailed
Pros and Cons
  • "The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We install Kaspersky to protect our endpoints for clients and servers. In the past, Kaspersky had different solutions for the clients and servers. We use the solution for protection from viruses, malware, etc., on the client's side.

I'm not sure if we'll increase usage of Kaspersky or try another solution. We are having discussions now with Trend Micro because we have new business requirements, and we want to see all the different capabilities that are there.

When we started with Kaspersky, it was an antivirus system, but now they've added endpoint protection, so it has more capabilities. Trend Micro has the same product and engine for clients and servers. We are using another product from Trend Micro that will integrate these products, which is better than having different solutions. For now, we're still using Kaspersky, but in the future, I think we'll move to Trend Micro.

What is most valuable?

With Kaspersky in place, we haven't faced any problems with viruses, ransomware, or anything like that. 

What needs improvement?

If something critical happens, Kaspersky will alert the admin or SOC team about it. I think Kaspersky's reporting, monitoring, and notifications should be more detailed.  

In my case, different admins are responsible because we have various departments. There is one admin per department. We don't need to receive all the notifications. We can receive only the critical alerts, but the other admins need to get all of them. That's one area where Kaspersky needs improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Kaspersky for five or six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us. However, the performance wasn't optimal out of the box. It needed some tuning on it to be sure that it is the best configuration. Kaspersky is reliable. I can't recall any time we had crashes or downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Kaspersky is highly scalable. Right now, we have more than 500 users in various departments, including regular employees and managers.

How are customer service and support?

Kaspersky support is fast and good.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky isn't complex at all. It's straightforward. You install the server, and then you can install the agent remotely. It didn't take very long either. For post-installation maintenance, we have different sites, and each site has an engineer responsible for handling Kaspersky. The product doesn't necessarily require this many engineers. It's only because we have different locations. Right now, we have five or six engineers across the various sites.

What about the implementation team?

We used a Kaspersky partner for implementation. They were very good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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. We've owned the license for a long time, and we are now bringing in the support, so we are not paying much for this.

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. That would save the customers from having to do lots of implementations. As far as I know, they do not have a bundled license. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security seven out of 10. I think Kaspersky is one of the best products for small and medium-sized businesses. It doesn't need that much experience for implementation and support. I would suggest that new users be patient when they're tuning in the first implementation. They might find that the system uses a lot of resources and the machines become slow. But after spending some time tuning, the product will work fine.

Secure and reliable with an easy initial setup
Pros and Cons
  • "It offers very good security protection."
  • "The performance is not very good."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used for protection. It's useful for internet accessing and network accessing protection and for flash memory protection from sharing, accessing, and other attacks.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very stable. It offers very good security protection.

The installation process is straightforward.

What needs improvement?

The performance is not very good. It's acceptable with the security. That said, the issue is that, when I opened the browser without Kaspersky antivirus, it's open in a few seconds, however, when I installed the antivirus on the laptop or computer and we try to open it, just open the browser, it takes double the amount of time. Without the antivirus, it's opening in four seconds and with the antivirus it's opening in 20 seconds. It's making everything hang.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for about two years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the product is good, and it does offer good protection. However, the performance isn't as good, as it slows systems down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have about 25 users on the solution currently. 

We likely will increase usage in the near future.

How are customer service and support?

I've never had to contact technical support. It's so easy I don't need to contact the help desk or technical team of Kaspersky.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Kaspersky, I was using ESET. We got a good offer from Kaspersky that had a lower price point and therefore we moved to them. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's very straightforward and very simple. 

It's a server installation. It takes about one or two hours, and the implementation for every user takes minutes as it's around in the background.

For the administration of the solution, we only need one of our technical team members to manage it. For the installation, it takes two people. It might take two or three hours before it's deployed for all of the users.

What about the implementation team?

We can handle the installation ourselves, with our own in-house team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

This product costs less than our past solution, ESET.

What other advice do I have?

We're using the latest version of the solution at this time. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
