Offers deployment simplicity, especially for firewalls and firewall configuration and good documentation available

Pros

"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network. "

Cons

"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."

It's easy to configure user policies

Product version discussed: 5 to current
Good log correlation features, straightforward to set up, and works with traditional antivirus products

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."

"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
