Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"The interface is very good."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"I would like to see more automation."
"The solution lacks device control."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"The interface is not the best."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
