Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It was initially deployed into our VMware Horizon VDI environment only. We wanted an antivirus program that was lightweight, offered quality protection, was centrally manageable, and was reasonably priced. PROTECT rose above other products we looked at.

Since that initial deployment we have rolled it out to all computers in our company (servers, desktop, laptops, and VDI desktops).

Pros and Cons

lightweight protection
central administration
advanced antivirus (AI-based, not signature-based)

I think it could be made more friendly to the non-expert security/AV admin

Return on Investment

We haven't been impacted by viruses or malware since implementing

Alternatives Considered

McAfee DLP Endpoint and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint

Cost was much better than McAfee. PROTECT can cover non-virtual endpoints.
