The biggest challenge with this product is it crosses lines. You need somebody who can support servers as well as somebody who supports the infrastructure. And that's usually two different jobs, two different job titles, two different departments. So if you have a lot of silos within your organization and you have groups that don't work particularly well together between the server team and the network team, you will have problems developing and working on this product. If your server team and your network team work well together, then you'll have a lot fewer problems, it'll work pretty well. But if your server team and your network team are like oil and water don't bother.

Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations.

Does a great job protecting our systems. Email security has more features and easy to manage. You don't have to have your own server to run the endpoint security. Auto updates the endpoint and servers. With a Managed detect response team that does human threat hunting. Overall an awesome product.
