Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The scope is across all employees. We have a lot of BYOD devices, so bring your own devices is really the main use cases. Lots of remote offices, lots of home offices, so we use the vendor to secure all those devices that are connected to our network.

Pros and Cons

Deployment's really effective so we can get into our device as well. And generally it protects us from, I guess malware and viruses is the main thing. So I wouldn't put defenders. Sometimes we have trouble with email, but that's not really a vendor issue.

Probably functionality might be, cloud apps might be helpful if it could extend to applications that we're getting data from that aren't necessarily part of our environment or pulling data into our environment. So I guess that would be one thing.

Return on Investment

I think it's provided sort of core functionality that we wouldn't maybe have been able to deploy support on our own.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for our physical deployment of remote people and sort of a SaaS company. It exists in cyberspace, so that's really very constructive. Where it's not, these sort of very specific data sets and sort of identity protection for customers, it's not as useful and it may not be one of its core purposes, but we're trying to use it for that as well.
