Account Manager in Sales (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kaspersky is being used in our organization as our first level of defense when it comes to cybersecurity. Products mainly help our company limit users' access, especially with its application and device control feature. Aside from those features, Kaspersky's excellent detection rate protects us from the latest threats. For our IT officers' side, the central management feature makes their work easier as it helps them centrally manage the users with full visibility.

Pros

  • Detection Rate
  • Ease of use and management feature
  • affordability
  • scalability

Cons

  • DLP feature
  • A dedicated firewall product on their portfolio
  • a local sales and technical representative here in our country, Philippines.

Return on Investment

  • It helps protect businesses from malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats.
  • It helps the company with compliance (GDPR, HIPPA) reducing risk and penalties.
  • Kaspersky can help save the cost as it has a very competitive pricing.

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

Return on Investment

  • time saved for remote apps deployment means money savings and free time to dedicate to other tasks
  • reliable security automatic detection engine and prevention means less incidents to manage and additional time to dedicate to different tasks, taht means also money saved for the company employer.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kaspersky was solving the problem of antivirus protection, as well as malware and other endpoint protection strategies.

Pros

  • Deployment was easy through various RMM vendors.
  • Installs fast.
  • Rarely, if ever crashes.

Cons

  • Privacy concerns, as it related to their business being tied so close to the Russian government.
  • Concerns that software was acting as a listening agent for a foreign entity.
  • Too aggressive and at times, made it very difficult to get programs to passthrough that were authorized for use.

Most Important Features

  • Antivirus
  • Antimalware
  • crypto prevent

Return on Investment

  • Negative because we had to rollback after US Government declared it suspect.
  • Was positive in a way that it was clearly visible to the end user, and they appreciated it.
  • Spent way too much time having to remediate it.
