Likelihood to Recommend I think Kaspersky is well suited for large and small companies. Larger companies can take advantage of the KSC (Kaspersky Security Center) servers to help manage a large network. The KSC has many good features to help monitor the health of the organization. It does a good job with updating and deploying remotely. It has inventory features, and can even deploy non-Kaspersky software packages uploaded to the center. KSC can become a source of good information about [your] network that can be seen at a glance. IT departments are normally smaller than they need to be. KSC helps with larger and smaller companies because of this. A small company would appreciate the amount of information and management that can be done through KSC without needing extra help. If the company is small enough that they don't have servers on-site, there is a cloud version. I have not used that to know how it differs from the local KSC.
Read full review Well-Suited Scenarios:Small to Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs): Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is well-suited for SMBs with limited IT resources. Its cloud-based management simplifies deployment and ongoing security administration, allowing smaller businesses to benefit from enterprise-grade protection without the complexity.Distributed Workforces: In scenarios where employees work remotely or across multiple locations, the cloud-based nature of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is advantageous. It enables centralized management of security policies, ensuring consistent protection for all endpoints regardless of their physical location.Proactive Threat Detection: Organizations that prioritize proactive threat detection and response benefit from Kaspersky's advanced capabilities. The endpoint detection and response (EDR) features help identify and mitigate potential threats in real-time, crucial for industries handling sensitive data.Less Appropriate Scenarios:Highly Regulated Industries with Specific Compliance Requirements: In industries with stringent compliance regulations, organizations may require specialized solutions that offer more granular control and reporting features tailored to specific compliance standards. Kaspersky may need to enhance customization options to cater to these specific needs.Resource-Constrained Environments: While Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is generally efficient, organizations with extremely resource-constrained environments, such as older hardware or limited bandwidth, might find the solution demanding in terms of system resources.
Read full review Pros 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.

Read full review Cons The PC imaging tools are difficult to set up and use Device Encryption tools are getting better, but are difficult to manage. The policies are powerful, but could be broken up. More help can be provided in what the policy element does within the policy setup Read full review Though the Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides security from all the types of Cyber threat but it will be great to have the protection from the attacks which occurs from inside of an organization. As Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides the Cyber security training to it's users in only Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Pro which should be included in it's all versions so that the users will be aware of the Cyber threats. The feature of root cause analysis is a great feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud but I feel there is a scope for improvement in it. Read full review Likelihood to Renew The product is stable and accurate in detecting security threats. There are very few or no false positives in detecting security threats or unusual behavior and has very sharp heuristics. The product does the job very well including saving us money in getting 3rd party patch management tools as the business is already using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager which is Microsoft product specific and the product patches these third party products e.g Adobe Flash Player
Read full review 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.

Read full review Return on Investment It reduced the incidents of infections and so reduced the efforts needed by the IT department to mitigate problems. It made it difficult to manage the security of our growing mobile user base due to infrequent contact with our on-premise management server.
