Advice Request KTS or KSC to purchase?

[motox781]

I am about to purchase another license for Kaspersky. I currently have KTS. I use the other features such as Backup and Encryption. I don't use Parental Controls.

My question:

Should I buy KSC (instead of KTS)? I was wondering if Kaspersky is moving towards making KSC the new top tier?

I think KSC is better as it depend more on the cloud as an adaptive security method
also some new features such as "Account security check" and network security
@harlan4096 may have answer as he long time user for kaspersky as well

I think its safe to say ,that Kaspersky is the best,if you are suggesting artificial intelligence? Maybe this is worth a look..

What’s going on now in the field of ‘AI’ resembles a soap bubble. And we all know what happens to soap bubbles eventually if they keep getting blown up by the circus clowns (no pun intended!): they burst.

At the end of the day,A good backup program,is just as important as your Av and or extras( external)

Hey Dave, I guess I should have worded it better. I was wondering if I should buy KTS or KSC? (main reason I'm questioning my purchase of the two: if KSC would be the new top tier program for Kaspersky moving forward, hence making KTS a little more on the back burner).

I would stick with KSC Free. Unless you're getting a really cheap key from gaming websites, not worth paying for antivirus, imho.

KSC paid (personal or family), specially the second is focused in home users who wants to control all the devices at home, about security KSC has the same security modules as KIS/KTS, on security in general it does not depends more on cloud compared to KIS/KTS but in the question of management, also some additional features are available such as device inspector (check devices connected to network), etc.

KSC is a bit better than KTS, but while I managed to get a license with 660 days (almost 2 years) for KTS for 3 devices for as little as 8€ on eBay... U won't be able to find similar deals for KSC (for now).
For me it's not worth the extra money, but this is just my opinion ofc

Just an update. I ended up buying KSC. Thanks.

Actually I have the same doubt as I have to renew my licenses next year and I'm starting to look at my options. Central management seems interesting. The 20 devices license is interesting as well. I just would like to know why it's the only product i can't acquire a longer than 1 year license in my country.

I'd like to be more complete as Bitdefender's Central that will tell me what was blocked in each computer, where it came from and when it was blocked but there is time to improve.

Since you wanna manage multiple devices from a control point, KSC is the option for you, however for OP it was a bad choice, is simply not worth it to pay extra for niche features.

Is sad the majorly of Anti-Virus companies are now shifting towards bloating their Software, rather than focus on improving Malware Protection and overall Performance.

Is even more sad how reviewers praise companies for bloating their Software, and judge those who keep it simple like they should.
