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

"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."

"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."

"The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly."

"It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for advanced threat detection and response."

"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."

"We can access computers remotely if we need to."

"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."

Cons

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

"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."

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

"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."

"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."

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

"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."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing. I would like to have more explanations and simplification in the user interface. It would be good to get help and see more explanations. It should tell us that a software is blocked and the reason for it. It would be good to be able to build chains in terms of what caused what, what worked, and what caused an issue. We are now moving from Carbon Black to Cortex XDR. While choosing antivirus software, we were also looking at Carbon Black because it also has an antivirus package, and it is next-generation, but we were told that Carbon Black doesn't support firewalls. We have Palo Alto firewalls. We would have chosen this solution if it supported firewalls, in particular next-generation firewalls, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Therefore, we decided on Cortex XDR because it integrates with Palo Alto firewalls."

"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."

"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation."

"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."

"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."

"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."

"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product is very reasonably priced."

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

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."

"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."

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"The price of this product should be lower."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."

"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."

"Its pricing was very good, which is one of the reasons I went to it as an alternative. It is on a yearly basis. There are no additional fees."

"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."

"The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."

"The license is annual. It's a standard license."

"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
