- I think the Windows update control can be improved.
- Another point to improve is the client update application
- Web console usability
Kaspersky - Not to be trusted.
- Deployment was easy through various RMM vendors.
- Installs fast.
- Rarely, if ever crashes.
- Privacy concerns, as it related to their business being tied so close to the Russian government.
- Concerns that software was acting as a listening agent for a foreign entity.
- Too aggressive and at times, made it very difficult to get programs to passthrough that were authorized for use.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security: efficient and safe
- Protects against viruses.
- Protects from remote attacks.
- Analysis of the status of multiple clients through the Server version.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security - Your Guardian
- Out of office policies can be configured
- Easy deployment
- External devices can be allowed user wise
- DLP solution is not available with Kaspersky
- The feature most worth mentioning is that it provides us virus-free infrastructure. As it is lightweight security software, it is becoming more popular day by day. There is no other powerful antivirus than this.
- Its licensing cost is also very reasonable compared to other products. It behaves like a real-time system for monitoring threats deeply.
- Its scanning power is very effective and powerful.
- It is incredibly easy to implement.
- Although this is reliable endpoint protection, sometimes problems occur while running heavy applications with this security software and its performance suffers.
- I think its installation process must be made easier.
Kaspersky - my choice for protection
- Antivirus/malware protection
- Software deployment
- It could be easier to detect workstation name changes.
- It automatically detects new systems and will even place them in organizational containers that you specify, but sometimes it doesn't pick up new systems.
We are not using it internally, but we have a testing platform with 30 licenses for for internal testing within our Department.
A lot of Business Customers in Bosnia have big problem with shortage of skilled IT staff.
Based on that problem a lot of customers choose Cloud solutions as they are cheaper considered that they use external IT staff.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is ideal for that usage. You can implement it without using remote access, on mobile devices, laptops and PC-s.
In Covid-19 pandemic as people use their devices outside organizations, this is must have, as the Kaspersky provides better overview over company assets, especially with remote working scenarios.
I found it fairly easy to set up, especially for small and medium companies. For Companies with Microsoft 365 subscriptions there is also a 365 solutions.
- Easy admin overview.
- Small performance penalty.
- Great for PC and mobile device protection.
- Better protection then default security options for Windows 10.
- IOS integration is too complicated even for IT expert.
- Sometimes update would fail on client computers for few days.
Cloud based administrative portal is great for remote work.
It is not easy to integrate with Apple products. Installation for iPhone and MacOS is complex and I would not recommend it.
- Password Manager.
- Security and online support experts.
- Uses a lot of CPU resources, making it unviable for less powerful systems.
- It takes time to scan the system in standard mode on older, limited computers.
Quick and accurate endpoint security software
- Detecting threats with accuracy.
- Immediate scan of removable drives which often are notorious threat vectors.
- Can scan for limited software vulnerabilities.
- Stable.
- Being able to throttle its scan performance centrally, it can suck up CPU for workstations and laptops during scheduled full scans.
- Less CPU usage - It was removed from all our servers in favor of Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection as all our virtual servers were literally squeezed of their CPU usage by the application.
- Installation is two fold, agent and the endpoint protection software.
Did not provide the level of remote endpoint management we needed for a growing mobile workforce
- Easy to schedule routine scans of systems.
- Offers a way to selectively scan specific file(s) on-demand.
- Provides a central management server to monitor and control endpoint deployment and maintenance.
- In our installation, the management server was on our LAN. This made it difficult to manage those devices that did not "check-in" very often. This resulted in some systems' information to be out-dated in the console.
- There is not a way to view live security events on an endpoint. We would often learn from the user of the endpoint that they were observing an issue.
- When an endpoint was relocated to a different network e.g. a home vs. corporate network, the switching of network policies not always went as expected resulting in the enforcement of the incorrect policy.
- As a user with Kaspersky installed, the program does a great job of staying out of the way of the end-user's activities. No pop-ups for updates, no annoying windows about security health. It's very considerate of user experience.
- System scans and adjustments are completed in the background, allowing users to focus on their various tasks.
- The program also scans any external hardware that connects to the PC, thus providing safety from potential threats on local hardware.
- My experience with the program has always been positive; the UI is simple, the experience is very smooth.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is a great product!
- The Security Center is laid out very well and makes it easy to install and manage the client endpoint protection on servers and workstations.
- The way security policies are defined and managed is very easy to understand.
- The client programs seem to be lighter and smaller on the client systems than others I have used in the past. Using fewer resources is always an advantage.
- Not happy with the way new versions of Kaspersky are released. The Security Center will tell you there are new versions, but it's very difficult to determine which items you need to download and update.
Kaspersky - great but worrisome
- Signature-based detection
- Identification of anomalies and potentially malicious behavior
- Solid platform that doesn't abuse system resources
- 0-day protection
- Company practices and visibility
- Issues with bad signatures
A really good client protector
- Centralized management of endpoints
- Frequent updates and well-supplied threat library
- Easy management of the various endpoints with granularity of detailed control
- The minimum license includes a minimum number of endpoints from 10 clients, which for very small offices is also too expensive
- Unfortunately, when applied to PCs with limited resources, it slows down the system in an important way especially during the scan phase
- At the screen level the settings were more detailed in the previous version
Kaspersky - Are you protected?
- Anti-Virus - great detection rate and it is very good at not letting viruses in.
- Updates - Software Pushes - Very nice tool to push things from one central location.
- Encryption - you can encrypt within the anti-virus client to make sure protect all laptop data.
- Communication of version updates could be better - sometimes I have to look to see if there is an update.
- Amount of plugins using MMC on a local machine - too many plugins - should be included in MMC.
- Changed location of software installs in last MMC - liked the previous MMC before.

Kaspersky excels where other software is left wanting
- Potential threat identification and quarantining is immediate and very reliable.

- Installation and registration, either remotely or in person, is a breeze, usually taking about 10-15 minutes, and with step by step confirmations.
- The organizational hierarchy, as well as the abilities listed in the hierarchy are extremely user friendly and easy to use for novices and pros alike.
- Before the last upgrade there was a want of better organization, more features and faster installations and the current version delivered on all of that. I can store a disk image and use Kaspersky for installing new systems on our network in a fraction of the time it used to take. Installation times have improved by3 times and I can now manage and distribute windows (and other software) updates to every computer at once just using the administration client, good by WSUS.
- The security software does a great job of staying the background, continuously scanning for threats without bogging down system resources.
- Kaspersky Endpoint is has an easy to configure and use interface, making it easier to train end users on its features.

- We would like to see improvement in the remote access feature.
