CoSoSys
Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] is well suited for an environment where a data loss prevention solution is required and many different operating system types are used. It is also well suited for an organization that has a need to deploy a solution quickly. Endpoint Protector is not well suited for companies that need to have an API or other integrations with other IT tools.

I think it's well suited as a drop-in EDR, really an XDR, I guess if you want to go there. A platform for most organizations. I think it lacks some of the granularity in off-the-shelf rule sets that I want for defense Industrial base or financial services clients. For heavily targeted organizations, I think it requires a lot more customization than some of the competitor products off the shelf. So if you get there, it's not there day one.

  • It integrates perfectly with Azure Sentinel. I mean, that's great. We can have a single pane of class with other platforms, like Defender for Cloud, Defender for endpoints, and Defender for servers, which is awesome as well. The ease of deployment is because Microsoft made sure around a year ago that every single workstation with Microsoft Windows came with Defender for Endpoints embedded.

Cons
CoSoSys
  • App integration - CoSoSys supports a lot of industry standard apps but fails to provide protection on 3rd party applications.
  • Complete disk encryption.
  • Web filtering features.

  • While it's a very good product for auditing, it has a very hard time to distinguish what is malicious and is an attack, what is not. Very rarely we get indication of a real malicious attack. We got lots of hours for off the shelf malware that it cleans up automatically. So basically we never get to look at it, which is a positive thing, but threats are detected by the third party endpoint, so it will not be enough by itself.

Cost add-ons for Security features is nickel and diming the process to keep pace with cybercrime. Limited Education budgets require us to be more pro-active in finding cost-effective measures to protect our devices, staff and students. Defender is a strong, well-featured product that is pricing itself out of the education market

The first time I tried to onboard my macOS endpoints to MDE I struggled for quite a bit. I had to reach out to Microsoft's MDE support team. The tech was very helpful in walking me through the steps during a screen share session

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] was able to be installed on all major operating systems. Endpoint Protector was also able to perform block actions and do it at a granular level among the endpoints. Business needs required a traditional data loss prevention and Endpoint Protector met those needs. We had a need to block some USB storage events and Endpoint Protector met those needs.

I would say not to name specific company names, because I'm a partner with one of them and that's the account that I work with. But I use some competing solutions that I would say are pretty heavy from an overhead perspective with the agent that has to be installed in the machine. It can be too restrictive for permissions where it gets in the way of an employee doing their job and the ability for Defender to be secure in that, but still allow an employee to go about their day and do what they need to do is certainly a change maker there. But yeah, from the other products perspective across the years, whether it be business or personal, some other products I can name are other endpoint protections from Vera Avast, McAfee, of course as folks remember that. And some of the other major players too that I would say a large networking company that doubles in security as well. I'll name them that way.

Return on Investment
CoSoSys
  • Didn’t work as expected
  • Not sure yet if we are going to renew it, thankfully we didn’t make a 3 year contract required by them.
  • The are not many options in the market for source code detection, so we may have to stick with it

  • Reduces the need for additional third-party security solutions and training, thereby lowering overall security management costs.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity of IT staff lead to better allocation of resources and cost savings.
