I have previously used different solutions like Symantec, Norton AntiVirus, and McAfee.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

What about the implementation team?

The solution takes two to three minutes to be deployed on one computer. Once you install it on a PC, you don't need to install it repeatedly.

A tool with an easy initial setup phase that can be centrally managed by users
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems."
  • "The solution's automation capabilities is an area where certain improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

The last product I used from Kaspersky was Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select since it could be managed centrally in my organization, making it a product that is easy to deploy, especially in corporate environments where there is a need to use managed application services. I use Kaspersky Total Security as an antivirus tool, and it helps block USB storage devices. My company also uses Kaspersky's anti-spam features for Microsoft Exchange Server.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it can be centrally managed, allowing users to know what is happening and what can be expected in the systems. A user need not move from one PC to another to make all the necessary configurations since it can be done through the nodes. The agents do the updates and schedule the scans. If a scan is missed, the product will run it again for you and give you the needed reports. The product can give you a graphical interface of what is happening on your network about the various kinds of virus attacks or trojans you have on your network.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Kaspersky Total Security for eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Apart from Kaspersky, I don't have anything else in mind. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My company deals with around 60 to 70 customers.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is good. I haven't had any opportunities to contact technical support since I am comfortable with it. The issues faced by a user are addressed properly once a support request is raised with Kaspersky's technical support team.

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

Currently, I use McAfee in my company.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is very simple.

If your network is good and you don't have any bottlenecks in your network, then installing the solution takes a maximum of thirty-five minutes. The deployment of the Agents of everything is up and running, considering that your network is good, and it won't take more than ten minutes to be deployed on 200 computers.

During the product's deployment phase, with the help of a console, you create a network pool and create groups. Suppose you create group A and pull all the workstations you want, and then create group B to pull in all the servers you want. If you want to install the agents, you select groups A and B and then install the agents. If you want to install the workstations, you have a package for them. If you want to install the servers, you have a package for the servers. If I install it on a Mac, you have a package for the Mac, allowing you to do things separately with each group you create.

The solution can be deployed on the cloud. I prefer the solution to be deployed on an on-premises model because of internet connectivity issues. If your internet connection is very good, you may deploy the product on the cloud. Presently, I have the solution deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

Only one person is required to deploy the solution. You don't need a staff to deploy it. If it is successfully deployed, then it gives the proper report. The deployment should be done in a maximum time frame of 25 to 30 minutes.

What about the implementation team?

As I am a consultant for Kaspersky myself, I take care of the product's installation phase in my company.

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

There is a need to renew the license on an annual basis.

What other advice do I have?

I have never faced any ransomware attacks with Kaspersky Total Security. I have faced some ransomware attacks with McAfee.

I recommend others who plan to choose the solution to use it.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
