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. As I mentioned, I think it's one of the best solutions. Everything is there—the database, information, support—and we're happy that we're using this. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

It's easy to set up and manage
Pros and Cons
  • "Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
  • "Kaspersky support has cooperated with us, and they were very helpful."
  • "I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
  • "I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."

What is our primary use case?

It's on-premise. There are three Kaspersky appliances — EPP, EDR, and the sandbox — that all work together. If someone wants to secure their internal endpoints, they can use the EBB and the EDR tools. You can use these to investigate traffic on the endpoint. The sandboxing feature is used to check the files. 

What needs improvement?

I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been providing Kaspersky for many years. Before I joined this company, my company worked for several years with various endpoint protection solutions by Kaspersky, Trend Micro, Carbon Black, and others.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Yeah, yeah. Stable and scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Kaspersky support has cooperated with us. They were very helpful.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned. And we set up an SQL Server to manage Kaspersky. With help from the customer team, it takes only six to seven days to get it working. 

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

Kaspersky requires a license. I don't remember how much it costs exactly, but it's charged per appliance. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Kaspersky Endpoint Security eight out of 10. I recommend it.

Straightforward to deploy with reliable service and strong brand recognition
Pros and Cons
  • "The stability has been good."
  • "We have many solutions that we deal with, the best is Kaspersky for sure."
  • "It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
  • "It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily implement the solution for our clients. It's primarily for securing endpoints.

What is most valuable?

This solution has a good history. We began with Kaspersky. It had a lot of market share and people were very aware of this product. 

The solution can scale.

The stability has been good.

What needs improvement?

The price is a bit expensive. Since 2018, we were moved from Kaspersky South Africa to Kaspersky France. They began increasing the price. In the beginning, they gave us rebates. We began with 25% and now we're down to 12%.

It's more and more difficult for our customers. It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it.  

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been stable. Sometimes clients might have configuration issues, however, we have been able to deal with that and help them through. It doesn't crash or freeze. there aren't bugs. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and has an add-on EDR as an option. If a company wants to expand its offering, it can. It's not an issue.

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

We have many solutions that we deal with. The best is Kaspersky for sure. However, we are expanding our business on Symantec, also, for the last three years. With Acronis, we are just beginning. We have no more than one year with this product.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment isn't bad. We can help clients with it and walk them through it to make everything easy. 

What about the implementation team?

We are able to assist clients if they need help with the initial setup

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

The solution is growing more expensive and it's becoming an issue.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the latest version of the solution, the Cloud Free Plus with add-on EDR. The last version.

I'd advise potential new users to be confident in the product.

I'm satisfied with the product, however, I'm not really going any deeper with it than I already am. If you don't have protection, ransomware might get you, and then things will be a mess. It's good to have some protection.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been happy with the product's capabilities.

My primary use case is on server workload, where this solution works really well.

What needs improvement?

Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side.

This product is stable, though that can depend on business structure and the kinds of devices used.

Uses little processing power, is quite stable, and has an easy initial setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has been quite stable."
  • "We are quite happy with its capabilities so far."
  • "The solution could be more secure."
  • "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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. The performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the product has been good overall. If you need to expand it, you can.

In head office, we are using the product on the client end for about 100 plus people. On the server end, we use it as well for about 60.

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.
