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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."

"It's stable and reliable."

"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."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."

"The integration capabilities are good."

"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."

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

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."

"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."

"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."

"It's simple, downloadable, and there's usually no problem."

Cons

"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."

"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."

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

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

"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."

"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."

"There could be MDRM features added to the product."

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

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."

"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."

"The reports could be easier to set up."

"Cloud services are very expensive for us."

"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."

"Technical support is awful. Their online response time is not prompt. They should not respond after four or five days. Their support guys are not competent enough. Small issues are taking time."

"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."

"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."

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

"The price of this product should be lower."

"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 very reasonably priced."

"The product is pricey."

"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."

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

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."

"I don't know it by heart, but it is comparable to other solutions. It is based on the number of clients. It is probably 50 Euros per year per client. It greatly depends on the number of clients you're handling because the more clients you are ordering it for, the cheaper it will be."

"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."

"The pricing is a six out of ten."

"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."

"FortiClient is costly."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."

"As a technical team member, I am not responsible to look into the pricing matters. These aspects are typically handled by the management team, who have the authority to obtain the necessary licenses based on certain established principles."
