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.

Users only need to install the VPN and authenticate with their email address

I primarily use remote VPN solutions to connect securely. We have configured both site-to-site VPN and remote VPN, and it is connected to FortiClient Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization. Without SSO, we would need manual configuration for each PC, but…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."

"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."

"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."

"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."

"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."

"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."

"Containment is the best feature of the solution."

"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."

"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."

"Compared to other similar solutions, it is faster in connecting."

"The stability is pretty good."

"This solution is very stable."

"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."

"It is not at all interesting for me as a standalone product, but as a product that is integrated with FortiGate with all features, it is actually a great tool and a great experience. I had test installed FortiClient working from home. I remembered and knew which web categories were denied or allowed. All those policies were correctly reflected standalone, for example, on my laptop."

"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."

Cons

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."

"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."

"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."

"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."

"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."

"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."

"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."

"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."

"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."

"The tool becomes slow occasionally, and this should be improved."

"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."

"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."

"There should be more frequent releases or updates."

More Fortinet FortiClient cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."

"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."

"The product is pricey."

"The price of this product should be lower."

"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"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."

"I rate Comodo’s pricing a four out of ten."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."

"The solution is not expensive. We need more discounted rates in Pakistan. The price of the solution could be reduced to be more affordable for the solution."

"FortiClient is costly."

"It is a yearly subscription license. I don't see a problem with the pricing. Resellers add their markup and then give it to us, but I don't see that as a major challenge. It is fine."

"The solution is more cost efficient than Cisco, as FortiGate tends not to charge for the client license, which allows one to make free use of whatever is supported on the device."

"FortiClient is quite reasonably priced."

"The licensing fee varies with what one is trying to accomplish. It can range from being free to costing several hundred thousand dollars per year."

Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) delivers patent-pending auto-containment, where unknown executables and other files that request runtime privileges are automatically run in a virtual contain that does not have access to the host system's resources or user data.

FortiClient is a fabric agent that delivers endpoint protection, endpoint compliance, and secure access in a single, lightweight, lightweight client, providing visibility, information, and control to your endpoints. In addition, it enables secure, remote connectivity to the security fabric. It also integrates network and endpoint with segmentation and automation. FortiClient enables unified endpoint awareness by sharing endpoint telemetry with the security fabric. It is compatible with third-party EDR (endpoint detection and response and anti-malware solutions.

The FortiClient fabric agent can:

• Report on the status of a device, including firmware version and applications running.
• Send all suspicious files to a fabric sandbox.
• Enforce USB control, application control, URL filtering, and firmware upgrade policies.
• Provide application firewall service and malware protection.
• Enable devices to connect securely to the security fabric over either ZTNA tunnels or VPN (IPsec or SSL), both encrypted. The connection to the security fabric can be either a SASE service or a FortiGate next-generation firewall.

You can purchase FortiClient with one of three levels of capability:

Zero Trust security - The ZTNA edition enables both VPN and ZTNA encrypted tunnels, as well as USB device control and URL filtering.
Endpoint security - The EPP/APT edition adds AI-based NGAV (next-generation antivirus), application firewall, endpoint quarantine, and support for cloud sandbox.
