Kaspersky Endpoint Security a reliable experience over the years
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Beside of the regular security anti-malware features that everybody know and many have appreciated a lot through the years, the product is very useful for remote software deployment needs. the product can deploy MSI packages with extra options like /quiet and many others and works trusted giving you reliable installation feedbacks (that could be instead an issue if you use MS GPOs). it can deploy also EXE packages that could be "embedded" along with other relevant files needed for the installation and this is not a frequent option with other products. It also consent to remove such deployed softwares accross your LAN, making you saving a lot of time and giving the possibility to remediate to critical vulnerabilities in third parties softwares, very quickly and in an affordable way. you can also choose if prompting the user for a reboot or force it. I'm using Kaspersky Security Admin Center to manage the features here described.
Pros
- deploy software via MSI accross LAN
- deploy software via EXE accross LAN
- uninstall remotely installed softwares
Cons
- polling LAN computer accross network sometime is not so reactive but you can force the installation just by entering hostname or ip address
Likelihood to Recommend
it's a very good security suite that could be expanded also with additional modules for Windows patch management and many other things like for example the vulnerability scanning with the reporting of relevant CVE\CVSS articles and scores. the product is solid and reliable and they have a lot of very high and trusted security certifications.
