As we have some #####ups with ESET licenses at work for like 2 weeks already, I asked our admin to put a Kaspersky IS on my notebook as recently I've got a personal license for a bargain. Both him and I agree that until the ESET situation is cleared, it' better to have it than not. It's not a powerful system mind you, QC Core i5, 16GB RAM, etc.
I have to say I am pleasantly surprised:
- This thing is light! - right now it's scanning something in the background and it's less than 150mb RAM and 5% CPU usage. But screw the numbers, Win10 Ent FEELS lighter to work with - opening and closing windows, programs, those little things... just feels snappier than with ESET Endpoint security. The little pic is in the attach...
- Features - I don't need to tell you this, check out the reviews or something. Obviously you can't compare it with the ESET ERA and it's rule-based endpoint control for business environments, but for the home user this thing is granular, I super like it. Especially the update center (updates all there is to update on the machine, and you can exclude stuff also), I love this feature on linux.
To be honest, if I didn't use default-deny solutions and if KIS initial update is faster now, I would use it. I don't see a better home user full suite at the moment.

@Umbra - I haven't really noticed anything weird with the initial updates (or any other updates for that matter), so I think it's safe to say they fixed this.
Honestly, I think I'll put this on my Windows machine at home and replace Emsisoft and Comodo firewall (I know I can use windows firewall and blah blah, I just prefer the rule creation on Comodo - select folder -> block out/in -> done).
