Its middle of the road and should suit most applications well

For a stand-alone business this should do the trick, but if using across multiple clients (multi-tenancy not an option). Default settings within the program will cause performance issues if not tweaked, meaning someone with networking experience may be necessary. Not ideal for MSP's unless they only have a few clients, as the manageability must be done within "the walls" of each company.

- An instant scan of file level downloads so that introduction of a variant file is limited before the scan engine clears it.
- Dashboard use of the agents available allows for near real-time review and action without directed access to the station.

Cons
ControlNow (Discontinued)
- Dashboard refresh when you have over 100 end agents can be lagging at times
- The agent install process has potential to hang without alert or warning unless your paying attention through the complete install
- The silent install process can be problematic when dealing with large-scale networks with varied OS models

- Poor performance against Spyware and other threats despite claiming to act against them (recognizes very few and eliminates less) It is limited to viruses.
- Regular blocking of incoming scripts (in front of other antivirus)
- Little or almost no compatibility with the Windows XP Firewall, but they are involved.

Depends on pricing and company size. In case of growing will probably switch to Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud or Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Would like a manual or online version that is simple to understand and explains in detail what choices we have and why to make these choices.

ControlNow more nimble and less impactful on the local PC

Using a hosted model, we know we are always getting the best core cybersecurity, but for the endpoints, we don't need something as complex as FireEye, and we wanted more than Lookout was able to provide. Lookout was terrific, and it came already installed with many of our phones. But we chose to proactively seek out a cyber solution that mapped to our policies.
