The stability is good.
What needs improvement?
We would always like to see even more security features. It's something the solution should continue to improve upon.
The UI, user interface, could be improved. They should update it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for a while. It's been about three years at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the solution is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. The performance has been excellent over the years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We protect around 2,000 endpoints with this product.
We do have plans to continue to use the solution. I cannot speak to if expansion is in the works.

Needs more visibility and threat hunting
Pros and Cons
- "I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
- "Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
We deploy it to every computer, server, and workstation within our network and also some home computers and laptops for endpoint protection.
What is most valuable?
I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints.
What needs improvement?
Kaspersky Endpoint Security could have more visibility and threat hunting. Right now, if it detects a file, it's quarantined, and then we can't find more details other than the path and the file name. We don't see what process it's warning off and how the virus got in. So, the reporting on the quarantined items, why were they quarantined, etc., could be improved.
We can't monitor outside of the network, so scalability could be improved as well.
The ability to control notifications regarding updates and licensing from one main computer would be great. At present, you have to physically go to each computer when a new agreement pops up. We have about 100 licenses, and this can be time consuming.
Technical support could be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the last six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's pretty stable. In the last six to seven years, we have encountered problems with the memory once or twice and had them fixed.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
As for scalability, we can't monitor outside of the network. For instance, if we deployed Kaspersky on laptops, we won't be able to monitor all the laptops at home. We lose control, so I think scalability could be improved as well.
How are customer service and technical support?
My experience with technical support has been okay, but it could be better.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty easy. We deployed the administration server and then used the administration server to push all the agents, Kaspersky agent and then Kaspersky Endpoint.
It took about a day to deploy the solution in our environment with about 60 devices within the network.
What about the implementation team?
We deployed it through a team in-house.
What was our ROI?
It's good, but we want more features. It's good for the price though.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing cost can be about $1,300 per year.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure how good the EDR side, the endpoint detection and protection, is. Is it based on behavioral detection or only based on file signature? Does it compare any known viruses to databases for all known viruses? Can it detect a new virus based on the behavior of the process?
If it got infected by a new virus, new malware, it may not detect it. I question if it's good for behavioral detection. I think the cloud version will be better, but I have not tried it.
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security at three because other products provide more visibility and more EDR features.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Great pricing with an easy initial setup and good stability
Pros and Cons
- "The price per endpoint is excellent."
- "The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection along with catering to Office 365, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, or Exchange - along with Windows update services.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has definitely improved how our organization functions.
What is most valuable?
The solution, for what it does overall, is a very attractive solution.
The price per endpoint is excellent.
The initial setup is straightforward. It's pretty easy.
The solution has been very stable for us. We haven't had any issues with performance.
The scalability is there if a company needs to expand.
What needs improvement?
The reporting portion of the solution is quite weak. It needs to be improved upon. They could do a better job of making it more robust.
There's always room for improvement in everything, however, I can't think of a specific feature that is missing or lacking.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for well over a year at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product has been extremely stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance has been good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability has been good so far. I haven't run into any issues as far as scaling goes. That said, we aren't an enterprise. I've had it as high as 300 clients.
For us, we probably have about a hundred users and I'd say a large majority of those are production floor people. The rest (25 to 30) are front office staff.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never used technical support before. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. It's just not something I've dealt with.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used to have Cisco AMP. We switched over to Kaspersky.
The reason we switched was really related to a price point and wanting to push out Windows updates, kind of more than device management type functionality.
How was the initial setup?
We've found the initial setup to be pretty simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex. A company shouldn't have any problem with the implementation process.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost structure is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive, which is part of the draw of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the version number.
In general, we've been quite happy with the solution overall. I would rate it at a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud

Offers a straightforward setup, has excellent integration with the app directory, and is easy to set up
Pros and Cons
- "There is excellent integration with the app directory."
- "The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection within our organization.
What is most valuable?
The solution offers many useful features.
There is excellent integration with the app directory.
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
What needs improvement?
At the moment, the support of XP and Windows Server 2003 is not there. At this moment I need to support of these platforms. However, Kaspersky does not these anymore. It's one reason why I decided to change to a solution that supports XP and our Windows Server, which is 2003.
The cloud needs to be more robust. We have 1,500 users and Kaspersky has issues handling them. It's a problem.
Other solutions (such as Malwarebytes) will scan the same files or areas and detect problems that this solution seems to miss entirely. It's not as secure as we would like it to be. It misses viruses.
Right now, you need to contract another console to integrate EDR. It would be ideal if Kaspersky also offered this instead of having to farm it out to another company. It would be great if everything could be centralized on one console as well.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's been a while.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'm not sure how stable or robust the solution is. Things seem to get through. While Kaspersky doesn't detect any problems, if you run a scan on the same files using Malwarebytes, that product will find and recognize a virus, and yet Kaspersky does not. It seems that things can get through the detection system. It's not completely secure.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The cloud isn't as scalable or robust as it needs to be. It doesn't handle the number of users we have very well. We have 1,500 users on the cloud.
It seems this particular solution is dated and needs to change to new requirements.
How are customer service and technical support?
The technical support is good for the most part. However, I contract the solution with other partners. It's not technical support within Kaspersky. I contact my vendor and they give me support. The support requests don't go to Kaspersky, the company. It's going to another company, our vendor.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are also using Malwarebytes, and they tend to catch viruses that Kaspersky misses.
How was the initial setup?
We did not find the implementation process complex. The setup was easy. It was mostly straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process.
More or less, this is how long it took: the consult was about four hours and the deployment of the client for 1,500 users was more or less three weeks.
What other advice do I have?
We are customers and end-users. We use a vendor that has assisted us with Kaspersky.
I'd advise those considering this or any other solution is to get data from the companies themselves and to do a good evaluation of the solution. They need to check how good viruses are covered and how often updated happen. Kaspersky needs to do more, for example, in this area.
Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten. We've mostly been happy with it, although there is some more work that needs to be done.

Easy to deploy, run and maintain
Pros and Cons
- "The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
- "There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is to protect our endpoint machines and ideally we are also looking at protecting our server. However, I had challenges deploying it to the servers. It was making them really slow.
What is most valuable?
The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly.
Additionally, scheduled tasks like scanning and safe rules, taking rules and grouping the different machines, being able to pick updates automatically and deploy them remotely are generally very easy, though we've had some challenges.
What needs improvement?
There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues.
The second area for improvement had to do with machines at one point being unable to communicate with the Central Server or the Heartbeat.
Another issue is related to installations. There is a feature for remotely deploying the solution on your endpoint machines, but some machines can fail. There was a particular incident where I needed to reinstall the solution again and it wasn't uninstalling. So the uninstallation process was a bit challenging. I had to install the machine again manually. They were Windows machines so I had to go and restore the machine again. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it on some machines can be a bit challenging.
Additionally, the way it handles threats is an area for improvement. Suppose there is a particular threat that has been detected, maybe someone inserted their flash drive or something. It does not give me an option to configure. I don't know if I was doing it right so that the threat is neutralized without me having to log on to the Administration Console. Then you go to Active Threats and manually delete that threat. I thought it would be intelligent enough. For instance, if I compare it to the Defend, if the flash drive has a virus it'll delete it automatically or quarantine it and give me a notification. Here, I don't get notifications. There is no feature providing me with real time notifications. I have to manually go to the Administration Console, log on and try to view if there are active threats on the network.
There is also the issue of synchronization with the Active Directory particularly if I'm using the Linux server. Sometimes you have a machine you have deleted from the Active Directory or disconnected from the network but that machine is still appearing in the Administration Console and you have to delete it manually. These are some of the challenges we meet with Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
In terms of what I would like to see in the next release, I would like it to be a bit lighter. I've used a couple of other solutions and I find them lighter to use than Kaspersky. Kaspersky really has to improve on that aspect of making sure that it's not consuming a lot of resources.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for the last five years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
Normally, we don't contact tech support directly. We rely on the partner here who supplies the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our license is a paid license which we pay annually. Every year we have been renewing the licenses.
I don't have any issues with the price. I think the pricing is fair.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint for Business Advanced. We are making a switch over to Sophos Intercept Advanced.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale of one to ten, I would give Kaspersky Endpoint Security an eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
