Suit Really in everything, what is modern cloud work especially really if you work in a global company where your IT team is not always operational hour of the business users so that everything is really in the cloud can be managed from everywhere, but we do not access to local resources anymore. That's really a good point. What is always a little bit the pressure point is that general things in cloud things are moving fast so it's always difficult to keep the teams that is using these words up to date

Support Rating
Comodo
I have interacted with them several times, and I'm not giving them a 10 because they never blew my mind how good they were, but they certainly met my high expectations and helped us resolve all issues we had. We paid for support to help us set it up, and I think that was a good choice. There's a very steep learning curve at first with the initial configuration. We feel confident in being able to change everything now that we have been using it, but initially it was all a very new thing to us since we never had used a centrally managed Antivirus and Firewall program before.

Their support throughout our onboarding of the product was fabulous. They not only took the time to carefully explain to teams not as well equipped with the lingo but explained to the tech team how to teach the other teams to be successful. They never once seemed impatient or annoyed with basic questions and didn’t pretend to know something when they needed to research an answer

Comodo
AVG antivirus was a bit expensive tool offering the same features as that in Comodo but unfortunately, the working speed of AVG Business edition was not as fast as of Comodo and the way Comodo is efficient against Malware is unmatchable and it automatically removes the threats so we don't have to put any effort into this.

We used the MS XDR as this is a bundle that we bought when we subscribed to the M365 platform, so having it was a bonus as we stated earlier, but due to limitation on licenses in Sentinelone, having this is just a blessing for us, so we can reduce around 200 licenses and can utilize it for other users

  • Depending on the licensing you pay for, Defender is included and a great ROI cost wise
  • In terms of time spent, Defender can be a large time suck but yield positive results for end users
  • Generally, it pays to learn and train in Defender BEFORE there is a problem and you need to really use it.
