Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) vs. Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suite

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.

With around 80 users and 150 devices (including 6 server instances), this solution served us very well, with instant admin notifications and scheduled overall reports. Detection appears extremely reliable, and the memory and CPU footprint of the service seemed less intrusive than Panda, which we had issues running on Terminal Services instances, as it seems to hog excessive memory allocation. Rollout was smooth and we never had an instance of a corrupt installation.

• 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

• Hybrid deployment, can be on-prem or cloud specific, we are using cloud based
• Central Control Manager capabilities to have control about what happens in the environment
• No need to have internal infrastructure to host further than your workstations or terminals
• No need to have dedicated team for security or endpoint protection
• Maintenance and updates are available just as released, no need to take actions on that side
• Great capabilities as a connected threat defense platform
• Endpoint protection features and quality for SMBs
• Cloud and collaboration platforms compatible including Office 365, Google Mail and On-Cloud Storage

• 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

• Price increases regularly.
• When you actually want to uninstall the agent, sometimes it will refuse to do so. Luckily TM has a special uninstall tool if needed.
• Can take awhile to dial in the thresholds against false positives.

Installation and administration tools are fantastic. I found the endpoint policies to be not intuitive and clunky. The endpoint client was difficult to disable when trying to troubleshoot Apple issues and I often had to uninstall and then reinstall which was very time-consuming. Reporting is very useful and I was impressed with the reports I received.

The few times I needed to contact support I was fully satisfied. They worked all the way through the issue, no matter how long it took, and made sure I had a permanent solution. I was pleased with the professionalism, courteousness, and knowledge of the product they were supporting.

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.

Avast was clunky, difficult to roll out, missed loads of malware on machines, and required that we purchase a separate license to install AV on our servers. Trend Micro could not have been any different. You just contact their sales department and get a demo, or even ask for a trial of sorts to test policy creations and client installation. You'll be obsessed with the whole process and the admin dashboard you have access to.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• It has stopped several malicious items from getting into our system.
• It's also saved money over our previous Anti-Virus solution (Kaspersky)
• Ease of Setup/Use
