Short summary for : both Kaspersky and ESET (NOD32) are solid, well-regarded engines — independent test labs keep them near the top — so choosing between them mainly comes down to licensing, management features, and local rules rather than raw detection alone. For a roll-out of 12 PCs use the business/endpoint edition and a central management console so updates, policies and tamper-protection are handled centrally instead of PC-by-PC. (av-comparatives.org)

A few independent-test highlights to balance ’s point about NOD32: ESET’s consumer line earned AV-Comparatives’ Product of the Year in the 2024 cycle; Kaspersky also scores strongly in AV-Test/SE Labs. Detection numbers matter, but also weigh false positives, system impact, support quality and how easily you can push policies to all machines. (av-comparatives.org)

Practical, repeatable workflow for 12 machines:

  1. Build one fully updated “gold” reference PC (OS updates, drivers, basic hardening like disabling Autorun).
  2. Install the chosen endpoint product, enable tamper protection and cloud updates, then update signatures and run a full scan.
  3. Capture that image (sysprep/clone) or deploy the AV agent via a central console and push the image or agent to the rest.
  4. Configure automatic signature updates, scheduled full scans, firewall rules and a least-privilege user model; test on a small group before mass deployment.
    Tamper protection and centrally managed updates are especially useful in an enterprise-style rollout. (kaspersky.com)

Important caution: if these PCs will be managed by U.S. persons or on U.S. networks, U.S. Commerce rules now prohibit certain Kaspersky transactions — check procurement and update availability before choosing Kaspersky; if that restriction applies, pick another top-ranked vendor and confirm licensing and update channels. (bis.gov)

If unsure, trial the business edition of each product on a couple of machines and validate detection, performance and management workflows before imaging all 12.

Kaspersky is good, and fast, but I think you would be more satisfied with Nod32; it detects more viruses then most others. Here is a comparison of just about every AV program there is to help you decide:
