  ### 2. Robust Security with Performance Caveats

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Madhukar P. | Technical Consultant

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2025

**What do you like best about Kaspersky Next Optimum?**

I like that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to use and update. It serves as AV and EDR protection for my organization on endpoints and servers, fulfilling my compliance needs. I use it to apply endpoint control, such as blocking USB devices with Kaspersky.

**What do you dislike about Kaspersky Next Optimum?**

The licensing part and update for multiple locations is a challenge. Kaspersky doesn't provide licensing on a trust basis, so whenever we exceed the license count, new endpoints don't take a license. This creates a gap in security, especially with the organization's size being more than 30,000 endpoints. It's hard to define the exact license requirements as it fluctuates by 5,000 endpoints every year. Procuring an additional 5,000 licenses at once is not allowed by the procurement team. Also, Kaspersky impacts endpoint performance, particularly while scanning. During the initial setup, I found it necessary to deploy multiple update servers to sync, which was somewhat complex.

**What problems is Kaspersky Next Optimum solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business provides AV and EDR protection for endpoints and servers, helps fulfill compliance, and enables endpoint control like USB blocking.
