Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud vs. ManageEngine Device Control Plus vs. Webroot Antivirus

For me KES Cloud is well suited for any company, small or large since it has a proper solution for anyone. As it's named Endpoint, it is because of the tools it has to solve each one of everything that can arise, from a simple virus to a full hack attack, helping on each one of the configurable options within the console for each company and also added to this to a personalized Security profiles by level of management, this because not all of the users need access to certain sites, data, networks, even applications when using standard PC image (as an example). All this is great although for IT can be work but it makes a better control by user level experience and guidelines that each department needs to have.

Remote control access is absolutely the best feature of ManageEngine's device control plus in my eyes. It works pretty seamlessly irrespective of differences in hardware or software versions and tooltips and help are widely available. It's very easy to give temporary access, which can be incredibly useful when using third parties for short time periods.

Webroot can be great if you have many employees using computers. Sensitive business information can be accessed by malicious threats online if your employees are not trained to avoid these problems. In this case, I think it's important to have software to protect you. If working with a smaller team (and not doing any sort of video production or other intensive software/applications) I can't see a need for anything like Webroot. Learning how to use the internet safely and protecting your file storage are things to be done on the cheap and with smarts.

• Scalability: Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is designed to scale. It adapts to the evolving needs of the organization, providing robust security regardless of the size or complexity of the network.
• Device Control: This feature empowers administrators to regulate the use of external devices within the network. It ensures that only authorized and secure devices can connect, mitigating the risk of data leakage through unauthorized peripherals.
• Cloud-Based Management: The cloud-based architecture enables centralized management of security policies. This is particularly advantageous for businesses with diverse and distributed networks, allowing administrators to apply consistent security measures across the entire organization.
• Advanced Threat Protection: Kaspersky employs sophisticated antivirus and anti-malware technologies to proactively identify and neutralize a wide range of threats. It doesn't just rely on known signatures; it employs heuristic and behavioral analysis to detect new and evolving threats.

• It is very lightweight. You dont even know it is running, yet it is always protecting the endpoint.
• It has protected us from various threats, including ransomware - even when wannacry was hitting companies everywhere.
• They have a good console with multiple provisioning options, so we were able to push it to everyone when we first started using it, and then include it as part of our deployment process going forward.

• Management console with multiple tenants gives an overall summary of critical level vulnerabilities. In my experience, you cannot click on the count and easily understand which devices are affected.
• False positives occur. The positive is that Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has a reporting mechanism that addresses these programs in a quick and timely manner.

• I wish that you could delete inactive endpoints when you wanted to. I find myself having to filter out inactive endpoints when searching endpoints.
• I think Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) could improve its malware detection better. Malwarebytes seems to have better detection.
• Over the years, Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) has made a couple of big mistakes, such as changing something on their end that then accidentally caused one of our business applications to be flagged as malware, which prevented our users from using it.
• The user friendliness and install on Macs could be more seamless.

We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security products for several years and the jump to the console cloud has been very comfortable for us since we do not have to dedicate a server to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console but rather the console is in the cloud so that we save the server and its financial amount, electrical expense, cost of its housing in the CPD.

It's easy to renew with Webroot, their support is very attentive and highly available. However if you do choose to change products, they even provide means of removing the software from your endpoints via the admin portal which is very convenient.

It allows us to roll out endpoint protection quickly from a cloud interface to hundreds of users within seconds and keep those devices secure. From deployment of BitLocker and keeping track of the keys from the interface has saves many users from stolen laptops and devices since we used Kaspersky as our main device protection.

The interface is the same across all of their products so it makes it easy to know how they lay things out.

There is nothing perfect in this world, but Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere) is easy to use in comparison to others.

Kaspersky is a market leader company, so I had no doubt that I could trust their cloud services availability. As of now, I haven't experienced any downtime on their cloud portal or any issue in the agent itself. I would recommend it in terms of reliability.

Most of the time performance is fine and there are occasation slowness challenges comes due to complexity of the program or heavy data load in the process. Some kind of cache mode option might help to remove these kind of problem. We have not integrated with any other systems at this stage.

We only had to send a query to Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud support. We had a problem accessing the cloud console and we opened a case with them. They assisted us quickly and gave us precise and concise instructions to access the Kaspersky Endpoint Security cloud console.After completing the steps indicated we were able to access the console

We have not had to use Webroot support much over the years. The one or two times we did we were referred to online documentation and in a somewhat condescending manner in one case and in another case, the support person did not demonstrate much knowledge of their product and referred us to the user community for support.

Webroot works better than some, but I do not think it provides the same level of protection as some of the more advanced competitors in the field. This is just one layer of our Cybersecurity stack, and it should not be the only thing you rely on to protect your endpoints. We also use advanced firewalls, EDR, MDR, and a SOC to keep our clients' devices safe.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a distributed product, you connect to the console and the client is installed on the computers and servers and the only configuration it needs is the console address. Then they connect and the console downloads the virus definitions and defined policies.There are no client limitations, you can even have multiple consoles if you want to have "separate" clients.

• From an MSP perspective - I would say it has been an amazing ROI. Cost is important and sometimes not the most important. Overall for the value - we are very happy with the product. Simple to use, simple to roll out, great integration's, and decent support for enterprise partners.
• Non technical people would consider this a "negative" but anybody in the IT field would understand why things have to be done this way. When rolling out to new clients, inherently, it is challenging to determine all necessary exclusions needed for every application a company has. This can be frustrating for clients with the great level of protection that Webroot provides. From the IT field, we understand that AV roll outs needs to be watched closely to determine when proper exclusions need to be put in place to ensure the clients LOB applications are working correctly.
• Webroot has helped us achieve the business objectives we set out to make - a strong 'Security Package' that address both virus and malware protection. We will continue to use Webroot in the future as we add more products into our Security Package.
