Likelihood to Recommend
If I had to recommend an endpoint AV solution, [BlackBerry Protect (CylancePROTECT)] would be on the list...in fact at the top of the current list. It is a cost effective solution. When we did the bakeoff in our selection we built 3 generic W10 PCs. We located a Malware repository on the internet and downloaded a package of 100. The first solution stopped 80% from installing, the second stopped 100%, [BlackBerry (CylancePROTECT)] would not let the package download! Winner winner chicken dinner :)

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.

Pros
  • Cylance uses AI Math-Model algorithms/machine-learning solutions, compared to other solutions which use signature-based solutions.
  • The Cylance client is very light-weight and is not as resource hungry.
  • The blocking capability is completely customizable through policies. Macro blocking, script blocking, and device blocking (USB, CDROM, iPhone, Android, etc.) can all be customized per organization needs.
  • Management interface is easy to use. The dashboard gives administrators a quick glance at threat events, threat protection, and device protection. Reports give you quick glances at infections, stale versions, and computers that have been offline for a period of time. Updates are easy to roll out in a tiered fashion to properly test.
  • Customer support is great! You can open up a ticket within the management portal and get help within a few hours. Most of the support is over email unless it is complicated, then they will do a remote session.

  • 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.

Cons
  • It would be great if there was a way for an administrator to make a file as safe from the end user device when a false positive has occurred (which is rare). At present and administrator has to log into the web console, create an exception and then wait 60-120 seconds for this to be effective on the end user device, still great, but this can be frustrating for users that are urgently trying to use the file.
  • Executive reporting could be better. Just a single page dashboard report that could be included in other monthly reporting.
Read full review
  • 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.

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 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.

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.

The implementation of this product is easy, the console is mounted and from it the client is distributed to the rest of the computers. In this way, the Kaspersky Endpoint Security client is installed on all the computers in the company's IT park and its servers.The installation of clients requires that they have visibility with the console that is in the cloud.

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.
