Great features, good patch management, and useful ransomware protection
I also have experience with Sophos and Kaspersky. The main difference is that some features are not available in Kaspersky. And, for example, the patch management part is not included in Sophos. On the Kaspersky side, they have a patch management part. However, we need to purchase an additional option to enable that feature. With Comodo Protection, patch management is already included with the product, and we don't need to buy it separately. Also, the main advantage is performance. When we implemented Sophos on the endpoint, the CPU utilization went higher. When we installed Comodo, the memory of the CPU utilization is very low. We can implement Comodo from XP and SP3 to the latest operating system. However, with Kaspersky or Sophos, they are not supported for that or Windows 10. Comodo is supporting Windows XP SP3 and all our operating systems. That said, the Sophos Intercept X Advanced option has a web filtering part, or integration. Comodo has only basic filtering, and web filtering is there. That means we can do the URL web addresses and block and allow the connection and that's it with Comodo. Comodo does have a separate product for that, Comodo Secure Internet, where we can configure and filter all the web filtering parts. That would be an extra solution at an extra cost.

Easy to set up with good security and rapidly improving capabilities
In terms of stability, the performance parameters do come into play. It's good on the regular office front, however, on the development side, if somebody is using it in a development environment, they need to make some configuration changes in terms of what directories should be excluded from the real-time scanning. I had to do that kind of stuff. I don't do that with the Microsoft product, for example. It runs, and it scans the entire system with no issues. The solution is stable. Regular updates were available in the product versions. They were updated, and they gave regular signature updates also so that the product checked all the boxes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."
"It is pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"It's scalable."
"The product is good and has a good interface."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
 

Cons

"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."
"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"They need to just modernize the infrastructure with something that is next-generation. We have recently moved to SentinelOne. It had been doing good for us for a while, but we needed something modern with new technology."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"They could be more aggressive with malware."
"The use of SQL Server can be improved. At times, there is a bit of challenge while linking it with the Javascript. ESET Endpoint Security requires modern technology or modern equipment on site. You will find it difficult to use ESET Endpoint Security with dual-core machines. If they can add the cloud management feature to their product, it will be much easier. If you look at this COVID situation that we are in right now, people are working from home, so you need to control the computers wherever you are. For example, if you are using any email setup and you are hosting it on your own, all the email traffic will be going through the same network. You need to protect all of your computers from the attack. It is best if you can do it remotely rather than having an IT person to come onsite to manage all computers and metrics etc, which isn't a smart way to do it."
"If I were in an environment that required a large-scale deployment then I would choose another solution over ESET."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"It can be hard to set up if you need to customize it."
"They could improve the solution by adding better ransomware features."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The product can be considered fairly cheap."
"The product is pricey."
"The price of this product should be lower."
"It's a cost-effective solution"
"There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is in the middle range of price compared to other solutions. For example, BitDefender can be more expensive."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"The price could be a little lower."
"There is a license required to use ESET Endpoint Security."
"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."
