Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) vs. Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen

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.

The best [way] for Trend Micro [Smart Protection Suite, with XGen] to stand out, would be to install it throughout the network, both computers and servers[.] I recommend this solution for both small companies and very large companies since currently the security of our data is very critical and many times the costs that they lead to when suffering from an attack are too high. [A] system like this is worth investing in.

• 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

• Real time threat intelligence using updates from global threat intelligence network.
• Advanced built-in threat detection and response capabilities.
• Ability to detect advanced malware, behavior and communications.
• Flexibility to deploy with on-premise or cloud or hybrid.
• Single management console to manage all layers of security.

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

• Documentation is something that can be improved here.
• Licensing is overly complex and needs to be improved for different features/variations.
• Install is difficult.

I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

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.

Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.

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

Incentivized

• We have stopped multiple infections of ransomware from spreading.
• Lost some productivity when database crashed
• Updates tend to slow system down
