It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything.

It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on.

Their remote management (RMM) is very good.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily.

It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection.

The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe.

The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution.

For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted.

They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once.

The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system.

The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues.
