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 $50 million in revenue are excluded from this methodology.

Customers’ Choice

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 its EPP and EDR solutions 4.7/5.0 and 4.9/5.0 respectively on Gartner Peer Insights as of Dec. 1, 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.
