Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) vs. ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus

It seems to be one of the best AV products that I have used. One issue that I have is with billing/invoicing and how the licenses are issued.

If you are managing a very large number of computers, I would say 1000+, the standard patching tools provided by Microsoft will fail to do their job properly. This is where you will benefit from ManageEngine PATCH MANAGER Plus, being agent-based it is fast, easy to manage, and reliable. If you require functionality more than just patching, like security auditing, you have to look elsewhere.

• Mitigates exposure to unwanted files and malware.
• Ease of Use and Management.
• Administrator control unlike standard antivirus purchased in the consumer/small business market.

Incentivized

• All the patches are tested before delivered to us.
• It's on cloud so we does not need to maintain Hardware and Network.
• It also upgrades the hardware drivers & BIOS. But for BIOS only we use monthly updates no automatic policy just push to target computers.

Incentivized

• Stability, they could grow when it comes to updates to the client. There always seems to be complications.
• Locking of systems. In the event of trouble, systems lock down so far that the administrator has to drive to the location where device is located, uninstall and reinstall.

Incentivized

• Would like to be able to still install patches that are older than 3 months
• Would like to be able to upload our own installers, but understand this is part of endpoint central

The support team at Patch Manager Plus has been awesome. Very responsive and knowledgeable. There are times when there is confusion between different tickets but there is still good service.

I was using a platform called Barkly which seemed to work well at the time. I ran a ransomware simulation against Barkly and it did not perform as well as anticipated. I began searching for another AV platform, found Comodo and decided to run the same ransomware test. Comodo [Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP)] performed much better and was more effective at stopping the simulated ransomware.

SolarWinds was not selected because it runs on top of
SCCM which in itself is problematic and unreliable. We need an application that
runs in standalone mode and does not rely on any other application. SolarWinds
is also one of the most expensive. Kaseya and GFI LanGuard are overkill as they contain
functionality that we do not need or already have. GFI LanGuard for instance
does security auditing the same as Qualys that we already have. Kaseya is a full
management and automation solution.

Incentivized

• Increased [efficiency]
• Can centrally manage the endpoints
• Mitigation of threats/vulnerabilities to the endpoint

Incentivized

• It has saved engineers so much time when monitoring patching out of hours.
• We no longer need to log into each individual server to patch it if it's failed, it can all be done from inside ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus itself.
