Featured Reviews

Bella Yakoby - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers third-party patching feature, good scalability, and enhance endpoint management capabilities
From the perspective of the team that's handling the environment, it's not so user-friendly compared to other solutions, the competitors. We hire new teams from time to time, and they are complaining, look, although BigFix is very robust and cross-platform, it's not so fun to work with. The user interface for the technical teams is not so advanced. It's not so intuitive compared to SCCM, compared to ManageEngine. And this is the fact that they have, with the teams, because they have the rejection. The look and feel of the system are old-fashioned. For new employees, it's less easy to find someone I don't need to educate on how to work with BigFix. Although it's easy, it's not as intuitive as the other solutions, and the functionality of the other solutions is less advanced. Let's summarize: The user interface has to be changed from the perspective of the teams that are managing the product. It's old school.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is less costly when compared to other solutions, and this is a good solid solution for what we have paid."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"The use of fast query has been extremely valuable providing insight in real time of the endpoints."
"The technical support for BigFix is really amazing."
"Between the user groups, the community, the AVP support, the direct access via technical route and the PMR support, half the time I don't even need to do a formal PMR because the solutions from the community resolve whatever issues we're having. It's the best community and support based system I've ever used."
"It has improved reliability upon delivery of software and has also helped reduce software expenses. The extensibility of BigFix helps to create custom solutions where we may have considered purchasing something instead."
"The most valuable feature of BigFix is the software deployment."
"It's enabled us to have a highly successful endpoint patching program for the past decade. It's been enormously successful there. It's also become a core part of many of our business processes, from compliance monitoring of endpoints, encryption management, key escrow, and local administrator password escrow. It's built into our inventory. It's very much everywhere."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The convenience has been great."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more emphasis on using the web console, to have the same power as the full fat client console that they do they now. It's a lighter way to log in and it would be faster for our operators to do their work. The console tends to take a long time for a large number of clients."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"Sometimes the workstations communicate back to the BigFix server two or three days in a week or something similar. Sometimes there can be a delay reporting back to the server for a variety of reasons, such as users turning their computer off when they go home. When the user comes back and turns the computer back on BigFix needs to synchronize and sometimes it can take some time, approximately one week. The communication between the agent and the server should be faster, there is room for improvement in this area."
"I would like to see different types of reporting and the ability to integrate closer with the cloud."
"The deployment has room for improvement and can be more streamlined."
"BigFix is actually a little bit on the expensive side in Turkey because of the dollar's exchange rate in our currency."
"The reporting structure could be a little more simplistic. Currently, it throws too many vulnerabilities. Some of them are not needed because they are only informational and limitations, and they are not of much help. It doesn't need to show us these things."
"License management isn't quite as easy as it should be to deal with the licensing. You need to take the server down to import the new licenses which I find to be annoying."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very fair."
"It might be about $23 a client."
"We have a subscription-based contract with BigFix."
"The license is subscription-based."
"You are charged per server and per workstation when using BigFix. ManageEngine is a lot cheaper than BigFix. There are some additional costs, such as support."
"I would stay with the Managed Virtual Server license model, which is a 1-to-1 license per OS whether it is virtual or physical."
"You get what we call the Platform Edition, which you get for free. The patch service is maybe $0.50 per workstation per month. Then there's the basic server cost, which is about $1.50 per server per month. You also get into Lifecycle which does power management, OSD remote control, and those types of things, and that might be about 10 times the price - which works out to about $13 per server and, maybe $5 per workstation per month."
"I can estimate the reduced cost of servers maintenance to approximatively $500,000."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
