Kaspersky, an industry leader in endpoint protection, has been recognized as a 2021 Customers’ Choice for Endpoint Protection Platforms by Gartner following a customer rating of 4.7 out of 5. 96% of customers also said they were willing to recommend the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business product. Kaspersky is one of only 3 vendors named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice in the latest round of recognition for both the EPP and EDR markets. Kaspersky has been named a Customers’ Choice all four years that the recognition has been acknowledged by Gartner.
Gartner Peer Insights is a free peer-review and rating platform designed for enterprise software and services decision-makers. Reviews go through a strict validation and moderation process in an effort to ensure they are authentic. The “Voice of the Customer” is a document that synthesizes Gartner Peer Insights’ reviews into insights for IT decision-makers.
This aggregated peer perspective, along with the individual detailed reviews, is complementary to Gartner’s expert research and can play a key role in your buying process, as it focuses on direct peer experiences of implementing and operating a solution. In this document, only vendors with 20 or more eligible published reviews during the specified 18 month submission period are included. Reviews from end-users of companies with less than $50M in revenue are excluded from this methodology. See the full “Voice of the Customer” methodology here.
Kaspersky is the only vendor to be recognized as a Customers’ Choice every time Gartner has announced the recognition in the EPP market. When it comes to technical support, Kaspersky customers rated our EPP and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions 4.7/5.0 and 4.9/5.0 respectively on Gartner Peer Insights as of Dec 1st 2021.
Kaspersky has also been recognized within the following Customers’ Choice category distinctions: Large Enterprise (1B – 10B USD), Mid-size Enterprise (50M – 1B USD), Public Sector, Government, Education, and Services. The company is also one of only two vendors recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the Finance Industry. As for the regional category, Kaspersky is one of only four vendors recognized as a Customers’ Choice in Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions.
Kaspersky believes that receiving the Customers’ Choice recognition is a testament to the company’s work constantly developing and upgrading solutions for businesses of various sizes.

“Kaspersky is synonymous with security and data protection. It has long been well evaluated by several specialized sites, offering solid solutions against viruses, malware, and other malicious tools. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security tool is an excellent tool for protecting computers on a corporate network. The service is based on a central server responsible for licensing and distributing updates and virus definitions. The system is so invisible that the user often hardly realizes that it is running,” Data and Analytics specialist in the government industry.
“We are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for over a year now and have been very much satisfied by the services and support it offers. Kaspersky is among the oldest antivirus and top-rated in the world. Safety and security of files and data is highly reliable and the support it offers is commendable in case of any issues.
