Breathe easier with KES Cloud Plus

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most companies use solutions that are not adequate in today's BYOD environment. Kaspersky fits the bill for its Threat protection, Device Managment, Web Control and Patch Managment not to mention free user licenses to add their personal mobile devices like iPhone or Android. We needed a full end to end solution that give the client and us a piece of mind in an ever-changing threat environment.

Pros

  • Patch Management
  • Office 365 Intergration
  • Device Managment

Cons

  • Keeping track of Individual companies as they add or remove agents so we can bill it properly. Currently we have to go into each client monthly and see if they have added or removed licenses.
  • Reports to see if Patch Management has been rectified.
  • iphone and android often requires users to fix and answer questions that should be controlled from the portal. Less user intervention would be a plus.

Return on Investment

  • We have had less calls regarding breaches
  • We have more time to discuss product upgrades to support clients with mobile devices
  • We have better billing cycles with KES Cloud
