    Comodo [Antivirus] is able to use advanced technology against any kind of virus and malware which is very effective and authentic. It scans smoothly and is able to detect any kind of major or minor malware which is awesome. We highly recommend this tool for malware protection for almost all companies irrespective of their size and number of departments as it is ideal for all.

    I can only speak to WatchGuard Endpoint Security being well suited for us. Because we have over 350 devices (tablet, laptops, desktops, phones) on our network, this product has been a great fit, especially when paired wih our Firebox m390. Again, the protection is fast, low overhead, and virtually undetectable that it is running all the time.

    • White listing scripts are either all or none, not able to white list a particular script
    • There is a delay occasionally from when an endpoint recognizes a potential threat to when that is reported in the cloud management tool
    • Other than those two, Watchguard Endpoint Security has been great - easy to deploy, manage, support and great at protection

    The ease of use, pricing, support, reliability, and quality of the product. Panda / WatchGuard products are highly rated, priced right and easy to maintain. All of this make it very easy to renew and purchase new licenses for us and our clients.

    Easy and intuitive MSP management portal to manage all of your clients from a single pane of glass. Policies can be pushed down globally or individually based on needs. The client portal allows access to their tenant information and installs only which is nice if you are working with clients who might have an internal person or an IT team that also wants access to things to manage themself.

    The software is 100% managed on a cloud platform that can be managed via an account even if they are not present within the company network where the software is installed, I even always opened the control panel on the browser of my smartphone to monitor the situation.I have never experienced any abnormal software crashes

    The only annoyance I complain, if we want to be picky, is the fact of the constant disconnections from the control panel.Every about 4 hours the account logs out even if I set the "remember this device" flag; having said that I have not noticed neither slowdowns nor conflicts with other software

    Support Rating
    Comodo
    I have interacted with them several times, and I'm not giving them a 10 because they never blew my mind how good they were, but they certainly met my high expectations and helped us resolve all issues we had. We paid for support to help us set it up, and I think that was a good choice. There's a very steep learning curve at first with the initial configuration. We feel confident in being able to change everything now that we have been using it, but initially it was all a very new thing to us since we never had used a centrally managed Antivirus and Firewall program before.

    I gave it a 10 because I compare it to air conditioning. I need it to work every day, 24/7. I need it to be reliable and not something that requires a ton of interaction from staff to make sure it works every day. In addition, I should be able to run other things at my house when the AC is on. Panda fits that description.

    The training was very helpful. It demonstrated how to configure the service for initial install, items to monitor, and how to set up for ongoing protection. Hands on training is more helpful but this is a good starting point

    Implementation shouldn't present any problems in standard office environments. In environments with development teams, however, caution is needed. If zero trust is enabled, mechanisms must be in place to ensure that internal software isn't classified as a false positive (software certificate, exception folder, etc.)

    AVG antivirus was a bit expensive tool offering the same features as that in Comodo but unfortunately, the working speed of AVG Business edition was not as fast as of Comodo and the way Comodo is efficient against Malware is unmatchable and it automatically removes the threats so we don't have to put any effort into this.

    Despite offering great value for money, comparing Sophos' offering to WatchGuard Endpoint Security we find Sophos' offering is far superiour due to it's support system, the distributors it uses (apart from Arrow), it's management console, the resource-light application and, primarily, it's ability as an Endpoint Security program. Though the fact we offer both solution proves that WatchGuard Endpoint Security has it's place in an MSP's portfolio.

    With the implementation of watchguard (at the beginning Panda Endpoint, but it is the same) I was able to insert in the control panel all the unauthorized software previously installed by colleagues without any authorization from the various department heads.Now any licensed software goes into lockdown and can be unlocked from the control panel
