A solution that is two steps ahead of me in ensuring my device's security
Pros and Cons
  • "Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in."
  • "When you get the license number, there isn't a clear section in the program's interface that leads you to renew your license. You have to look and search a lot about it."

What is most valuable?

Kaspersky is reliable because it checks everything before I want to log in. If I want to log in to some website, it prevents me sometimes and tells me it's not sure about the security of that site. Or it's not sure about something I'm downloading, so it takes action before I have to. It supports my future steps.

What needs improvement?

Renewing the license is a bad experience. When you get the license number, there isn't a clear section in the program's interface that leads you to renew your license. You have to look and search a lot about it. I tried renewing the license on one of my laptops, and unfortunately, I failed to do so, and the license expired.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Kaspersky has millions of users. You have various products for the same solution, where you can install it for yourself or your company, for as many systems as you want. There are about seven users in my company using Kaspersky.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. The installation takes about two minutes. I put the Kaspersky CD into a CD drive connected to my laptop and installed the program.

What about the implementation team?

I implemented the solution by myself.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a 250% ROI with the annual subscription.

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

We have a yearly license, and it's not expensive.

What other advice do I have?

If you want to use Kaspersky, just use it. It's great. I rate Kaspersky an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Offers reliable malware protection and a robust firewall
Pros and Cons
  • "The most beneficial feature of Kaspersky Total Security for me is its all-in-one antivirus solution with continuous signature updates for effective malware detection and prevention."
  • "Regarding improvement, Kaspersky has a slightly larger system footprint, leading to a 5-10% performance slowdown compared to when I wasn't using Kaspersky."

What is our primary use case?

I use Kaspersky Total Security for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution. It provides antivirus protection, a firewall, and a VPN service, eliminating the need for separate purchases. The software offers a secure web browser mode for online banking, ensuring my information is protected. Additionally, it includes a system cleanup feature to enhance PC performance by removing unnecessary files and registry entries. 

How has it helped my organization?

Using Kaspersky provides me with crucial malware protection and shields my data with a robust firewall. The VPN feature also allows me to access blocked URLs and explore information not readily available in my region.

What is most valuable?

The most beneficial feature of Kaspersky Total Security for me is its all-in-one antivirus solution with continuous signature updates for effective malware detection and prevention. The software's built-in features cover a wide range of cybersecurity needs, providing a seamless and updated defense against various threats.

What needs improvement?

Regarding improvement, Kaspersky has a slightly larger system footprint, leading to a 5-10% performance slowdown compared to when I wasn't using Kaspersky. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Kaspersky Total Security for eight months.

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

In my experience, Symantec feels more user-friendly and comfortable compared to Kaspersky. Kaspersky may require a bit more technical know-how during installation, making Symantec seem easier for the end user.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Kaspersky Total Security is straightforward if you are tech-savvy. It is not overly difficult but could be more intuitive. Purchasing online is convenient, and the download link arrives via email. However, non-technical users might find it challenging as the built-in VPN can affect internet browsing without them realizing it. For technical users, it is quick to install, but non-tech users may face difficulties understanding the impact on their internet speed due to remote VPN services.

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

It is an annual subscription for a five-user bundle with Kaspersky. You can use it on up to five devices, and it covers both computers and mobile phones. The minimum purchase is for five users.

What other advice do I have?

Kaspersky's password manager is a secure vault included in the antivirus solution. It effectively manages and keeps track of all your passwords, enhancing overall security. 

If you are on a budget and want a consolidated solution, Kaspersky is great, especially for Android users. However, if you need more integration with different products, consider checking out alternatives like Symantec, McAfee, or Broadcom for additional features like DLP encryption. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs and budget. Overall, I would rate Kaspersky Total Security as a seven out of ten.

Enables efficient data protection, but the setup process could be simple for end users
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a stable product."
  • "There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product to protect crucial data on our employees' operating systems and cell phones. We use it to protect internal services and integrated data systems as well.

What needs improvement?

Kaspersky Total Security is not flexible. There could be an option to upgrade the license online without necessarily installing it physically in the system.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Kaspersky Total Security for ten years. At present, we use the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup process is simple for IT executives. However, it is not flexible for end users. It takes less than thirty minutes to complete and requires two to five executives to work on the process. Technical support services could have access to the systems at the sub-national level. It will help us save time and cost for deployment and maintenance.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the product in-house.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated three vendors. We chose Kaspersky Total Security for its availability of technical support, application cost, and ease of use.

What other advice do I have?

They could provide technical support to critical stakeholders at the sub-national level. I recommend the product to others and rate it a seven out of ten.
