    Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is a suitable option in mid level and large companies to detect insider threats and stealthy attackers. It is highly recommended where data is highly sensitive and there are chances of attack to get access to critical revers to get saves credentials and stored files. for small and medium business this solution is not recommended where perimeter security is already configured.

    If an organization is all Windows-based Active Directory systems, then System Center Endpoint Protection is worth deploying and using. If it's a hybrid of operating systems, then an alternative solution is best.

    • It is easy to use and configure. This is a benefit, not just for the IT/Admin team, but also for the end-user, as they can easily set how and when to run scans.
    • It is good a identifying threats and removing these threats. When looking for a product such as this, it is important to really look at these two areas to really see how the software will work in a real-world environment. SCEP is one such product that does really well at both of these things.

    Cons
    Attivo Networks
    • Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) should have capability for getting forensics packages from compromised systems in my opinion.
    • I believe Auto phishing email detection capability should be improved to meet industry requirements to tackle phishing attack vector
    • Malware detection capabilities should be improved to work to kernel level for better visibility in my opinion.

    • Not so much a limitation on the software itself, but the fact that is primarily only "signature" based, it cannot detect threats that have mutated.
    • This software provides virtually no protection against zero-day threats.
    • The System Center Endpoint Protection does not offer protections based on behavioral analysis.

    It is integrated with Windows and SCCM, making it easy to use, license, manage, and update. Additionally, it is straightforward to diagnose when virus and ransomware alerts are detected on endpoints. IT Service Desk management is also easy.

    Support is pretty good overall. Since it's a Microsoft product, there are a number of different options for either end-users or IT Admins to get help with this product. This includes phone support, email, web KB articles, community forums, etc. This support is also available 24/7, which can't be said the same for every AV product out there. Also, organizations can opt to buy into Enterprise support, which gives the added benefit of faster response times, training by the vendor, etc.

    Attivo provides a user friendly management with a centralized manager. We can do configuration of Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) from a centralized console and deploy the Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) very easily. In other deception tool like forti deceptor etc, they have a bit poor user interface in my opinion and use-ability feature are improved in Attivo as compared to its competitors solutions I believe

    Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection was the logical choice for our organization since we were utilizing so many other Microsoft solutions. We have since realized the need for more advanced threat protections and primarily use SCEP as an additional level of protection. Our primary protection is being provided by Carbon Black because of it's advanced heuristics and behavioral analysis capabilities

    Return on Investment
    Attivo Networks
    • Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) helps to protect information hence Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is securing sensitive data therefore ROI is better as loosing the data is much more costlier as per Business Impact Analysis.
    • In small organization ROI is not effective as cost of Attivo Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) is a bit high and data being protected through EDN is not high value asset in my opinon.
    • It is a better technology to detect cyber threats so anyway it is recommended to use for better security posture.

    • The Windows 11 version of SCEP is significantly better than the Windows 10 and older iterations, and it has saved us from virus issues in the past.
    • This is faster and less work to deploy to a pc when we build and deploy them.
    • No extra admin and costs for AV licensing in our case, which makes renewal times easier on IT Management.
