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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great security and stability
Pros and Cons
- "Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
- "Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
What is our primary use case?
We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for user protection.
This solution is deployed on-premises.
What is most valuable?
Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions.
What needs improvement?
Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth.

We have been using this solution for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This product is stable.
Our team has done some automating and set up auto-maintenance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is scalable.
There are more than 1,000 users of this Kaspersky solution in our organization. We have plans to increase our usage.
How are customer service and support?
We have never contacted technical support.
How was the initial setup?
I don't remember exactly, but I think the installation probably took a maximum of three hours for my engineers, maybe less. You can do it yourself. We had a team of four engineers to handle the deployment.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented this solution through an in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security a ten out of ten. We have been using Kaspersky since the beginning, and I would definitely recommend it to others who are considering implementation.

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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Stable and innovative with great machine learning features
Pros and Cons
- "The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
- "The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
What is our primary use case?
I primarily offer it to clients for their business.
Kaspersky has four different kinds of products for endpoint security, and EDR is a mixture of all of those four products. On top of that, they have an artificial intelligence feature in it, and a machine-learning feature in it, as a new feature.
What is most valuable?
Kaspersky is pretty strong as a product in general.
The performance is very good. The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now.
The solution has very useful machine learning features.
The product is stable.
The scalability is very good.
What needs improvement?
It is a heavy solution and it's not for small networks.
The solution is pretty expensive.
The installation is technical. You need to be certified.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for a long time. I've used it for 13 years now. It's been over a decade at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have found the product to be stable. I haven't had issues with it crashing or freezing. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance has been great.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product can scale as needed. It's not a problem.
I'd rate the capability to scale at an eight out of ten in general.
We have 30 or 40 customers who are using the product right now.
How are customer service and support?
The tech support is pretty good. They are knowledgeable and responsive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I deal with a few different solutions. So as far as Kaspersky is concerned, it is on the top of the list right now. I would say Kaspersky, Trend Micro, and Carbon Black, these three, are the very top. Technology-wise and performance-wise, they are very good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup requires a certified Kaspersky technical person. It's not an installation just anyone in IT can pull off. It's not like some solutions where you just do a few clicks and you are up and running. It's an involved process. You need a strong knowledge base.
You need at least two technical people (engineers) for deployment and maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's costly and heavy. Price-wise, it's expensive.
In order to use the EDR, you must have a very strong server as well. So that's where you have to add the cost for the server machines, and that's where you implement the EDR as well. While the EDR itself is probably not that expensive, altogether, with the servers needed, it becomes a costly solution.
Users need to pay a yearly licensing fee.
What other advice do I have?
We are resellers.
The solution has both on-premises and cloud deployment options. Many clients are moving towards the cloud as a deployment preference.
I would definitely recommend EDR to any networks that have over 300 users.
I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Uses little processing power, is quite stable, and has an easy initial setup
Pros and Cons
- "The solution has been quite stable."
- "The solution could be more secure."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for version and device control. That's why we have moved to Kaspersky. It's meant to be assisting us with device and control issues.
What is most valuable?
The solution is light. It's is easy on the client-side, and even on the server. It doesn't take much processing power. There's no bottleneck of the applications.
We have the ability to restrict users and third-party VPNs. We have control over the user and application access and have put in place policy-based safeguards also.
The solution has been quite stable.
The scalability is good.
We have found the initial setup to be rather straightforward.
What needs improvement?
We found that, for some reason, some site URLs were being blocked in Kaspersky. However, we have since found a solution. As it stands now, the URL opening issue has been resolved on our end.
The solution could be more secure.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Kaspersky for almost two years.

How are customer service and support?
We've never contacted technical support as we have not found any complexity regarding the product. It's a product that is easy to deploy and control.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are also using Symantec. While we have been using Kaspersky for about two years, we've used Symantec for around eight to ten years.
We also leverage a Cisco-based firewall to increase security.
How was the initial setup?
The installation is very straightforward and simple. It's not difficult. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process.
We have two personnel that handle deployment and maintenance. One is currently managing it, and the other is managing the client end.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have a yearly license with Kaspersky currently. It has already gotten renewed after its first expiry. We will renew it. When we renew it, we tend to make sure it's also as up-to-date as possible.
What other advice do I have?
We have the latest version of the solution installed currently.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We are quite happy with its capabilities so far.
I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
