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.

The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
I have worked with traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Sophos, and F-Secure. Broadcom acquired Symantec, and Trellix acquired McAfee. The market is disturbed as other solutions are acquiring the traditional leaders. Getting support is becoming a challenge. Carbon Black provides endpoint detection and response. CrowdStrike provides vulnerability assessment and application testing features. It gives additional threat prevention to the customer. So, I prefer CrowdStrike over Carbon Black. Carbon Black and CrowdStrike provide very good market strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"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 big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"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 user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"The solution is stable."
"It significantly speeds up incident response times by alerting analysts immediately upon detecting potential issues."
"It is a very complete platform."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."
 

Cons

"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"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 quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product should be lower."
"I rate Comodo’s pricing a four out of ten."
"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"It's a cost-effective solution"
"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"The pricing is very high."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
