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.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting

We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."

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

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

"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The menu could be cleaned up."

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

"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"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."

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

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

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."

"The product is pricey."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"The solution is very cost-effective."
