Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used by my organization across multiple sites. I am only responding to my site which has close to 1,000 employees. There are around 300 workstations and a few dozen servers protected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security at my site. It is used to protect our workstations and servers against malicious programs and attacks. it has other benefits such as reporting what software is installed on our systems, deploying software, and other monitoring. Our Kaspersky security center uses MS SQL Express and has no issues. We did not need to attach it to any full version of [the] SQL server.
  • 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.
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.

  • Inventory feature helps with answering audit questions easily
  • Reduces time with software deployment
  • Peace of mind - no viruses or malware after installing
  • Easily scan systems remotely
I've used the cloud version of CarbonBlack and Bitdefender. They both say they automatically scan files as soon as they appear on your computer. The user/administrator is left to trust that the technology works. With Bitdefender, it at least allows an on-demand scan, but it still never reports to the user if the file was clean. Kaspersky automatically scans and notifies the user that it has been scanned AND the results of the scan. In IT we know we can't always trust the technology to perform as designed. I NEED confirmation to feel at ease. Kaspersky makes it easy to run an on-demand scan of a workstation if there is suspicion of an infection. Another thing is that I have not [seen] in Bitdefender, and I know CarbonBlack does not provide inventory information for the administrators like Kasperky. Kaspersky gives detailed information about the systems it scan and lists every software installed. You can even filter and search for specific installations in your network through the Kaspersky Server Center (KSC). It helps know what licenses are used and where.

Kaspersky is deployed in North America. I would guess there are 10K+ users. My site has 1K employees but only 300 users. We are a manufacturing organization. Most of the users are administrative, but Kaspersky is deployed on the systems on the manufacturing lines as well.

Two IT members. One administers the server. This one installs and updates the central server software. This member sets up the schedules for updates, scans, etc. The initial systems settings are implemented by the server administrator. The other member does the deployment. This one ensures all workstations are protected and monitors the health of the overall network.
  • Effectiveness - 0 infections over several years
  • Cost
  • Ease of administering
  • Inventory information (software and hardware recorded during scans). We're required to do many audits and answer many questions about the devices on our network. The central server is a [lifesaver] with that.
  • Deploying non-Kaspersky software by creating install packages in the administration server.
  • Sending messages to workstations through the administration server. You can send messages that pop up on the user's screens if there is something that needs to be communicated quickly. When you deploy updates, you can have it say that they need to restart, and give details.
The reason we buy antivirus is to protect from viruses and malware. We have not had any infections in years. I like using this product better than others I've used and it is cost-effective.
You can create groups and create different policies for each group. You can customize many parts of the software before it is deployed. You can create different tasks and schedules based on the groups. It is customizable.
I've used the on-premise server. I've only experienced one time that we couldn't open the console, and that was a server issue. It seems to be a dependable solution. It's there, and it's stable.
Users don't notice any slowdown with the antivirus running on their systems. There have been issues when the systems have missed a scheduled scan, and it was checked to run at [a] first available time, they will start a full scan at startup. This has caused some lag. Normally there are also some issues with the workstation, but it is something to note.
Yes
I've never had issues upgrading Kaspersky. It automatically pulls in any settings and even packages created with the previous version. Deploying updates to workstations is easy. It's basically a click of a button and the workstations upgrade as well. You can send out messages to the users if needed through the application.
  • Better security, I'm not aware of any drastic changes with the updates.

Our company uses Kaspersky as our primary network security and firewall manager. It allows us to handle network transactions safely and efficiently.
  • 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 is clearly well built for large company networks that need a comprehensive network security solution that runs all its actions in the background with limited-to-no end user interaction. I would highly recommend it.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security was being used by our entire organization, from the receptionist and support staff all the way up to the managing partners. Because we dealt with highly sensitive information and most of our communication was done through email, security was of the highest importance. They chose Kaspersky for this purpose, to protect the entire firm from various phishing attempts (and it was successful). It was also very easy for all of the staff to use which gave everyone an even better piece of mind. And the fact we could set it up so that it would stay updated as long as the user restarted their computer was a perfect touch.
  • Ease of use, from those with little computer skills to those with a masters in Computer Science.
  • Runs in the background without using lots of resources.
  • No annoying pop ups.
  • Does the job effectively and provides a great piece of mind.
  • Accessing and understanding additional details of the program are difficult.
  • Lots of features unexplained that would be useful to understand.
  • We had issues with the program freezing when the user had not updated in weeks.
I believe that the Kaspersky is suited for both large and small law firms, even corporations with internal legal departments. Kaspersky did exactly what we wanted to and protected our network and computers from harm, all while being very low maintenance. After setting up the initial settings and having them copied to each computer the maintenance was pretty much non-existent. The only thing we had to do was remind individuals to restart their computer so that Kaspersky would be updated.
  • Protected our confidential and highly sensitive information.
  • Provided great piece of mind when the firm was infected with Bitlocker.
  • Frustrating to understand additional features of the product.
  • Avast and Avira
I tried both Avast and Avira and the annoying pop ups to upgrade and being locked behind a paywall made buying Kaspersky a no brainer, especially when I have seen it first hand protect our data. The interface for all 3 was lacking in some sort of way but the Kaspersky UI was theb est out of all of them.
