Crewmem67 - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.
Kevin-Alexander - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers peace of mind with 24/7 monitoring and detailed remediation steps
The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial. A lot of products have reporting, but if you pass those reports to your clients, they are not going to get the same value out of that report that I am getting. Other than that, I do not have anything. It is simple. It does not bug me. It gets out of my way. What more could you ask for? Their EDR is pretty mature in terms of what it does.
