I just did a quick evaluation of Kaspersky’s Anti Virus for Business suite. Based on "bang for the buck" I don’t think it’s up there with AVG. It’s got a bit of the "Sinmantec" about it’s interface. It doesn’t seem well thought out. The agent deployment is a 2 phase process. There’s a network agent that must be installed and then you install the anti-virus software.
The price is pretty good though, especially compared to Trend Micro! And Kaspersky’s engine does tend to rate very highly on the charts.
I like that it has a dedicated Windows Event log. That’ll make monitoring using something like SCOM a heck of a lot easier. However, when I dropped Eicar onto my test agent I was disappointed by the results. It prevented IE from saving the file which was good. It sent details to the central administration server. But there was no event recording this occurrence in either the Kaspersky or the Windows Event Logs.
