Comparison of Endpoint Security features of Product A and Product B
It is well suited in environments that want a simple AV product/solution that, for the most part, can be easily deployed to client endpoints. It is also good for environments that want something that is easy to use by end-users, and also doesn't use a whole lot of system resources. It is less suited for environments that want an AV solution that is more robust feature-wise, or has more configurable options for the end-users. It is also less suited for those organizations that want an AV product to have the highest detection rate in the industry.
As it is capable of keeping a system’s data and all the essential business files protected from highly advanced viruses too so, I would recommend it to everyone who wants protection for their Servers and desktops and its ability to block suspicious websites helps in ensuring a safe and sound environment.
The product could improve in the area of having better mechanisms in place with how the SCEP client is deployed/installed from the server on the management side. We have run into this firsthand with the client not installing on an endpoint, and then having to take the time to investigate why it was not installing.
A second improvement that can be made is to keep trying to improve the products detection rate for finding malware/viruses. The case can be made that there are some products out there that do a better job at this and have a higher detection rate.
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.
There was a time and a place in which Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection was an excellent choice to provide threat protections. However, now that threats have been evolving, so too does the need for more advanced protections. In its current offering, it just no longer meets the needs of our organization in terms of providing protections against threats.
Fewer licensing requirements, one less vendor to buy from, one less app to package, deploy, and update on systems. It is an integrated license to Windows that comes baked in when you have AD-connected systems and need to allow that system on the network. It's a natural tool that enables and uses with little complication after setup.
There was little/no cost associated with this software since we are utilizing SCCM and are paying license costs for that anyways.
The level or protection is excellent for the cost of the software.
There was at least one instance in which Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection identified a crypto-malware, but not before it had already started to encrypt many of our files. So it did detect the threat, but since it was a little delayed we still were infected.
